Topic: rear exhaust port

[shelby clone]

Good evening again... I am trying to figure out the placement for cutting the rear valance for the exhaust port, i have seen a few different pics of them and have seen two different versions, i have cutting 1" down from centre screw and 6" each way from that point and 5 3/4" down supposedly giving me a 5 x 12" rectangle, but it doesn't look right, am i missing something, pics would help out this old fart. thanks for any help

I noticed that there is a variety of fitment variances with the rear valance cut out. I decided on my car that I would cut it out to fit the car. I started by fitting the valance panel to the car, specifically the sides where these often don't fit very well. I then fit the collector to the car with the springs and shackles installed. Once that was finished, I installed the tail piece and marked its position on the collector with tape. I cut the rear valance with a rectangle that was obviously too small but would be big enough to see the tape on the collector. From this point, I kept enlarging the hole until I could bolt on the tail piece. Then I set a reasonable clearance around the tail piece but tight enough that you can't see the cut out when standing a few feet behind the car.

Hope this helps.

does anyone have any close up pics, not sure on the fitment at around the exhaust port, cut the hole, it just doesn't look right.
