1957 Exhaust Question

[Rod K.]

Approximately how far should the exhaust pipes extend beyond the rear fender bezels?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Rod, Judging manual calls for no more than 1 Inch beyond.

FYI.....I use one of these tools to cut them. It allows you to get in close to the bumpers/tips and keeps the distance even around the perimeter of the pipe.

I then use a deburring tool to get the inside sharp edges smoothed out.

Then a little hi-temp silver paint on the edges to keep them rust-free.

I usually try to get them to around 3/4" so they don't appear too long.
