If you referring to your 1969 Big Block, chrome bumper car... and the system you order is designed for your car, it should come out to the same location as the original system on your car would.

You could also call Allen's and ask them. (574) 722-7272 They know the ins-n-outs of the exhaust systems on these cars as well as anyone.

Good luck... GUSTO

Don't know if this will help, but I got it from a Corvette listed on BAT.

I just position the tips 3” beyond the bezel, measured from the cutout bezel to the tip on the top side. I just installed a chambered as well on a ‘69 SB.
