Default Exhause tips - difference?

Ok, I know the '70 exhaust tips are supposed to be cut at a different angle than the others. But what is the difference between the '71-'73 and '74-'75 exhaust tips?

I was actually surprised when I saw a 74-75 tip compared to the 71.5-73 tip;
if I recall correctly, the 1971.5-1973 tip will not make it to the rear of hte car - it ends somewhere around where the bumper skin meets the body - where as the correct tip is long enough to make it past the bottom of the bumper.

Wonder if anyone has a pic of the difference?

I have a '73 Formula, but I'm not sure which tips I have.

Point taken. But, I'm not sure it was necessary to be a dick about it.

Is that a ‘70, ‘71 to ‘73, or post ‘73 Dick? I might be offended....

No, on second thought I won’t be. Do your homework.
