Guest MusclecarBob Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hello All, I see on ebay, 70-72 MC exhaust tips are these correct, there aftermarket vendors of course, not OEM/Factory stuff (like i sell) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Bob, To the best of my knowledge, the SS was the only FGMC that had exhaust tips and they were rectangular/oval in shape... I should say rectangular with rounded corners because they were neither rectangular or oval... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mau Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I guess I'd describe them as being rectangular-shaped with rounded corners. They were the same chrome tips that were also used on the Chevelle SS, and I believe that OEM versions as well as repros are available from parts suppliers.

Guest MusclecarBob Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Right seen them on ebay so mine would have just straight pipes, turned down? or? Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mau Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hmmmmm, that's a good question, Bob. I would think that from the factory a dual exhaust system without chrome tips/extensions would be downturned, but I can't say for sure! The factory style sure looks great, though. My car is probably on its third or fourth exhaust system (the most recent being put on 2 1/2 years ago) and being an SS I put the repro chrome tips on it. Didn't want to spend a lot more money on the OEM ones when they look the same! If I didn't have an SS, but put on a new dual exhaust system, I'd probably still have the pipes straight out the back and with the SS chrome tips. Nothing wrong with adding a little something "extra" and in my opinion you can't beat the factory muscle car look! The actual car used as a basis for drawing up the FGMCC logo was a beautifully-restored '70 402/4-speed car and it had the SS chrome exhaust tips on it, too. Considering that a lot of people on the site/in the club are interested in performance, I thought it was appropriate to have a factory-appearing, performance oriented Monte represent the club in the logo... so it's got the chrome tips, rally wheels and white letter tires.
