'59 Tail pipes location in bumpers??

[Ken K.]

What is the correct length of the two tail pipes that come out of the rear bumpers? Do they come out past the chrome bumper openings? Or are they shorter then the bumpers? If anyone can post a photo of the correct lenght on the pipes, it would be a big help. Thanks Ken

Ken -

If you want your chrome to last, set them about 1/4"-3/8" beyond the edge so the condensate drips on the ground instead of inside the bumper, where it will eventually eat through the chrome.

Ken,

I agree with John although the correct length is more 1/4" then 3/8"...

If you like bling, bling you could install these tips to extend them a bit more during daily driving and then take them of before during judging...

greetings,
Rob.
