Frank wants to know:

What is the correct angle of exhaust tips and correct placement from front to back of the quarter panel?

Here's pix previously posted by Rainman of the tips on his stock '78 T/A

The rear most part of the "splitter tips" should be directly in line with the rear most edge of the side marker lights. You should only be able to see approximately 2.5 to 3 inches (no more) of the exhaust tips below the rear fender.

those are good guidelines but remember there were variations even from factory...ive seen some aimed straight down while others angle out

see that makes me mad because the guy who did my car was like nope this is how it should be we get bend diagrams that tell us exactly where they should be from stock and mine you can bearly see.  im soo pissed cuz i spent like 800 bucks on my exhaust and the tips should be stickin out way more.

I went with my own personal taste, my tips show about 2" and have a 10degree "kick out" to them. I like them that way, and really don't care if somebody else does'nt like them. To each his/her own I say!

I personally like them tipped out a wee bit.  I'll show Frank these new posts.

THANKS everyone!!

I'm sorry, Kyle that yours didn't come out the way you wanted it.  Any way of fixing that problem?  I don't know if that is an easy fix or not.
