Tailpipe question

[norm1]

My headers are out for ceramic coating so I am mocking up my exhaust system. Using 2" tubing

Would someone with an original system, please supply me with 2 measurements?

Rear body flange down to the top of the exhaust tip..... I'm guessing 1"

Rear body flange back to the end/top of the exhaust tip...... I'm guessing 4 1/2"


The fun part will be from the header thru the frame pass through. I have to raise up about .75" and out about 1.25" within about 3" of length. I will have to weld the mating flange on in place or pull the engine after fitting to weld.

Thanks.

Answering the unanswered....

(See attached diagram.) These measurements are from my 1965 Mk1, purchased in 1973. The exhaust system is now ready for replacement and/or upgrade. I've always wondered whether the chrome angle tips were stock or added by the previous owner. I've found two Tiger advertisements showing angled tips, and none with straight-cut tips. Personally, I like the look and the way they hug the lower body, only 1/2" below the pinch welded flange. Anyone with more knowledge on this subject may make corrections to my post, however when replaced, the new tips will duplicate what I have now. As I said....I like the look!

also the tips were chrome diped

The stock tiger exhaust had the angled tips and as mentioned the ends were chromed, directly on the pipe not as a clip on.

AND that plating ran about halfway up the trunk floor pan towards the differential.

Also, if you do use a slip on chrome tip, the original tips had an approx. 20° angle slash, not the standard 45° slash
which 99% of replacement tips have.

Interesting.... Thanks for the information. Since mine do have the add-on chrome tips, my tailpipes were evidently changed before 1973.
