Inline Tube sells a 2 1/4" tail pipe with turn down. . Picture shows a GTO dual tip exhaust but description indicates a turn down at the valance.
The set I received from them had the correct angle cut.

Thanks for sharing this. Good to know there is a source for these!

Wonder why they chose not to illustrate?

Thanks again for all the help.

I made a declaration of "good enough" for now.

I found cheap 18" clamp-on pipe sections at Autozone. I had to cut an inch off the bells to clear the welded hangers and that was it.

They clear the valance by about 1/4", which is a significant improvement.

On the someday list is having a shop replace the glass packs with mufflers. I can have them weld these tips on and slot and weld small bends to bring them an inch lower as suggested by HWYSTR455. Then I could trim them to match the stock design but for now, they look better than what I cut off.

Most importantly, they don't hit the rear valance that I'm still working to straighten out.

Here's the creative clearance solution that was used to fit the oversized tips:



Roughly straightened, now with a little clearance:



Looks better to me now and I can move on the next issue:

Out of curiosity I superimposed a bent pipe onto the "as it sits" image to see what it would take to put the tip in something close to a stock position.

The answer is a 7 degree bend and a 30 degree cut will drop the tip to something close to the location in Scarebird's drawing.

Maybe someday I'll yank them off and find a way to bend them. Maybe a muffler shop would do it ??
