51 exhaust end neer the bumper
« on: March 21, 2020, 06:23:21 PM »
after installing a completely NEW exhaust on the 51 two door, the tail pipe seems to be pointed slightly up.  it can not be turned any other way . if it is wrong I will have to bend it down or add a chrome tip.  I am afraid of exhaust in the eddy wind.

Adding a chrome tip which is an official Kaiser accessory will point the exhaust down and away from the bumper and body. you can also have the installer heat the tail pipe and adjust the angle of location near the bumper.  See pictures below for proper location for the exhaust pipe outlet.
