Default Exhaust tips pics?

I have a 75 with dual exhaust. Its an after market set but comes out the rear the same as stock. I'm wanting to put a set of tips on that are chrome and instead of pointing down I want them to come out straight. Has anybody put these on and if so do you have pics and parts #s. Thanks in advance.

Turbo mufflers which are thinner than stock can be positioned lower & exit straight back.

Didn't really want to change the muffs, they are only a few months old, just want the tips to come out straight. Thanks

The bumper would need to be cut for stock muffler setup to come straight out.
Bill Mitchell cut his 77 bumper & used rect. tips.
ahoover cut his 75 w/ later bumper & used 73 stainless tips and bezels.
