I had a 2" dual exhaust system installed with flowmaster mufflers. The h pipe and tailpipes are stock dimensions. I have the stock rear valence with no cut-outs. The exhaust pipes stop just before the valence and would hit it if I attempted to mount strait tailpipes.
I have seen strait pipes on many cars come under the valence and stick out a bit. (This is what I would like)
But the mechanic put reducer 45 degree pieces instead of tailpipes that end before the valence. I smelled exhaust, so I extended them with chrome tips.
Now the openings really look small in diameter. I have even received comments at Carlisle recently on how small they look.
So...putting real turn downs on the pipes and losing those stupid 45 degree reducer fittings will make a true 2" exit for the exhaust but I fear I will smell exhaust again if I allow it to exit before and under the valence.
Is that my only route? What could I do to make a nice under-valence-strait-tailpipe connect to my installed over-the-axle pipes (that seem too high) without having to cut my valence?
