LX Tail pipe question....Problem solved!!!!

How far does your tail pipes stick out past the LX rear bumper. If you guys can meassure, or BETTER YET....take a picture for me. Just stand above the rear looking down and snap a shot.

I have a MAC cat-back from a 2001 on Project 81 Hack Job, and I think I might need to trim off some tail, but I'm not sure how much is right. I want it past the bumper so most of the fumes will be behind the car instead of under it.

Thank you guys!!!!!!!

See my last post for pics.....Updated at 3:42pm

Sorry, I don't have a pic, but the original stainless systems on the 3 new ones I owned were all different, but never came out more than 1 inch. I wouldn't know how to post a pic, even if I had the proper camera for it- I hafta get into this century! I suck.

Very true, sometimes I don't know why I ask such simple questions...

Prolly because my 91 doesn't have tails, and I just want it as close as possible to stock looking on the outside, and close to all other LX's. When something is different than the next, it sticks out like a soar thumb. Right know, they are out like 3 inches or something, and if you walk around the car too close, you could snag your leg.

Too get back on track, I'm thinking a ditching the tails and having it dumped rite over the axle. It's legal rite?

Sammich they look good! I can't believe those Nitto's arent eating away your paint from all the crap they kick up!

Look at the very back /bottom of my 1/4. That's not dirt, it's from running Nitto's for 25,000 miles.

I've sadly daily driven it for 2 years and I still haven't gone over 10,000 miles. Even once it starts to **** up the paint, it wont matter since it's getting repainted.
