Default 69 side pipes on a 76

What do I have to do to make the pipes fit on my 76?
Many thanks

Hi ra,
The pipes will fit the way they are.
A small part of the fiberglass on the lower edge of the fender right behind the front wheel needs to be trimmed to create clearance for the pipe and also clearance for the front of the exhaust cover as it turns toward the engine.
You need to be cautious mounting the pipes and covers so that the bottom of the mufflers are visible below the lower edge of the covers.
Regards,
Alan
