Re: [DML] Re: Exhaust tips

[Les Huckins <jhuckins@xxxx>]

These tips are the exact OD as the stock units on the '82. The aperture on the '83 is
the same size as that on the '82. Positioning of the tips within that aperture is also
the same. The top of the angle cut tip now extends a little further from the bumper than
the small round original. It is expected that exhaust will now be released a little
farther away from the bumper and be deflected in a more downward direction.
