Default exhaust tips
I noticed that some of the 64 have slightly shorter exhaust tips coming out of the holes in the back. I like it better with the longer tips. Not sure if this is specific to 64.
Any idea? It's not the N11 off-road exhaust RPO (muffler is different but not appearance wise).

Thanks,
-Matt

They are either modified original tips or some one really pushed them into the muffler

ok, thanks.
What is the norm then?
On this one (photo #5), they stick out more (which seems to be more common from what i've seen):

All of the tips are the same length; how far they protrude through the rear valance depends on how far they're pushed on the muffler outlet and how the rear of the muffler is positioned fore-aft relative to the chassis.

John how much did they stick out when new from the factory. Do all of the original ones have GM part numbers stamped in them.

Thanks

The end of the tips were generally an inch or two forward of the rear edge of the bumper - it wasn't critical. Original tips didn't have part numbers on them, but most of the reproduction tips do.

Thanks John for the information. Since the originals did not have part numbers is there another way to tell if they are original or not.

Thanks

Originals were magnetic, with a smooth welded seam on the bottom (some of the reproductions are too).

Originals look whimpy. 2-1/2" tips look bad azz.
