This would correspond with the short angle of the chrome tip just barely, another 2-3 mm, abutting the inside curve of the tail pipe at the back. Those spacial relationships allowed the pipe to protrude "whatever." After market tips and mufflers may change all of that. So....look at back in the day photos or old brochures.

    That's correct the last picture shows how an original chrome muffler tip looks like not the rounded tip most cars have. I guess it just depends on how anal you are on being original. I only point this out because some/a lot don't that there's a difference in how an original tip looks like. Which is why Eric made these. The first picture in post #2 shows the later rounded chrome muffler tip.

    Anyone posting a photo of forty or fifty year old protrusion thinking it is exactly as it was in its prime is probably deluded
