I am in need of a close up pic of the exhaust tip that comes out of the muffler on a 70 Cuda with turn down exhaust tips. I bought some repro mufflers and I have to modify them with a new tip. An original or NOS muffler would be the best. I need to know how far it comes out of the muffler, how much bend is in it , and the angle of the pipe cut. I HATE TO GUESS!
Thanks!!

Great pics!! Just what I was looking for! Interesting to see that they have no visible weld. The ones I got from Dale's Cuda Shop have a weld on the outlet so I have no choice but to have to reweld a curved tip on it. Those original mufflers must have had the tip attached internally at an earlier stage of assembly. Once again the repro's don't have the look down 100%.

Dales have the weld on the outlet just like these originals.
It should make it easier to attach your end then if it had the concave area associated with original turndowns

Terry,
Your pictures show how even the back end of the muffler uses a different end cap. Turn down style has a concave outlet hole and the tip style has a flared one. Interesting! Dale's does make a pretty accurate N42 style muffler. I just wish he would offer a turndown style ready to bolt on.
