MC-71 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I need the measurement of the SS exhaust tips that extend past the rear bumper. That would be from the bend on the rear bumper to the top of the tip. I added pictures but they are hard to make out. Too much bling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 The 1971 Factory Assembly Manual shows some dimensions on page 8-3. The 1970 manual has the same info for the Monte as well. Looks like the dimension from bottom of bumper to top of tip is: 1.25", and the stick-out of the tip from bumper is: 1.04" for the Monte Carlo. The "*" footnote gives you +/- .25" variation from the 'Reference Dimension'. Me personally, I like to put my exhaust as high & tight as I can get it. I would be aiming for the low side of those tolerances (especially the drop from the bottom of bumper), but that's just my personal preference. exhaust tips.pdf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Thanks again Joe. I’m sure I missed that. Must be my old brain! I have both those assembly manuals but missed those dimensions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 No worries Carl, it was sort of buried in there a bit. Show us some pics when you get them done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I have mine 2 inches out past the bumper. And I still periodically have to make sure that I clean the bumper to get exhaust film off of it. Just make sure you clean the rear bumper. Otherwise it will corrode faster. I learned that from experience. John S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
