I have a Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust on my car and from the bottom of the fascia to the top of the exhaust tip is right at 1" spacing.

Sometimes the distance isn't as important as getting the "look" right.

I know I've spent some time on my Corsa "learning" how to tweak it!

Good Luck!

I used a stack of paint sticks laying between the tips and bumper while I was installing them. Ended up about inch and a half.
