[TR] Exhaust tip

[Frank Fisher]

 and also not too long that you cut your shins on it every time you open the boot.

 Geo ~
I have not yet purchased a new tip. The system I installed is a Falcon stainless system from Moss. Ot sounds OK but the tailpipe only reaches to the back of the body which seems a few inches too short, to me. The OD of the Falcon system is like 1-7/8" which isn't that common so finding a tip I can weld on may be an issue. The screw-on tips seem like something I could leave on the road if I hit a pothole.... I also wondered what a "correct length" wouldbe and several folks seemed to say the end of the bumper would be best (about 3-4" longer than the current tailpipe with no extension).

Dave -
Where did you get the new tip?
Is it like the original - aluminum and enlarged on the forward end?



Or was it aluminum and just a straight pipe?
Or was it a universal chrome piece with a set screw as sold by Moss (and most FLAPS)?


Those are certainly wear items if you drive much and it would be good to find a source for the correct part (last correct one I got was from TRF years ago).

Hey all ~

I recently i stalled a new [stock] exhaust system on my TR3 and it sounds fine but I note the rear tailpipe/exhaust tip only reached a point flush with the back of the body. Is there some rule-of-thumb for how much extension a rear tailpipe should have?
Thanks,
