Help to ID a Part #
Can anyone ID GM Part # 496346 Gr. 3.075. If so, would you be able to tell the year (s) this # was used on the part, which i believe is a 68, 69 exhaust spout. I've seem several different #s for this part, thanks!
Happy 4th!!!!!!!!

The '74 Grand Am tip (left) is essentially the same as a '68-'69 Corvette (right) chrome tip. These are readily available from Corvette restoration suppliers. The only difference is the position of the crimping slots where the clamp installs, which you can't see unless you crawl under the car and look closely. Other than that, they are identical.
Pontiac part numbers
74 all A (except Station Wagon) qty 2 496346
This part number was superceded by 3952742
Note that 73 and 74 tailpipes are different due to the differences in chrome tips.

Opens for me, anyway, I think the crimping slot position refers to the position in reference to the mounting position on the muffler. Like 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock.
Maybe someone else will clarify this part number.
