[TR] Exhaust tip

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

Years ago, we had a lot of exhaust/engine smell coming into our TR6. I thought it was exhaust curling back into the car from the exhaust pipes so I installed some extensions that I bought at a NAPA store. They stuck out at least 6 inches but made no difference – I think the engine smell was more from a disconnected crankcase breather hose or a hose on the carbon canister that was no longer connected. So, off came the ankle/calf biting extensions and into the exhaust parts box they went until today for the photo modeling session.

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,
