Exhaust pipe end question, on the 810 Phaeton

I was just about to revise the spinach to carrots. I must admit I was so surprised with your findings that I was confused and mixed up the vegies.
Carrots it is here too.

Carrots on this side of the ocean.

Detective Kelly you must eat a lot of spinach. I agree with your observations.
Amazing ......................... no shaddow!
At least the tail pipe looks ok.

If you look closely at that pic the bumper looks like it was air brushed on and it doesn't cast a shadow. Not to mention it is too high.

Attached is the cabriolet picture taken in West 18th St, Connersville. It clearly shows the chromed exhaust pipe extension piece.



 

Thanks wadoron I'm on it, the pipe is ordered as you wrote and the bumper with pumperette going for rechroming!

As Tim stated, the pipe's end should reach the bumper's plane. When I was installing my exhaust a few years ago, the research I completed at the time also said that the exhaust pipe's end should be angled at around a 45-degree angle, with the short side facing the pavement. The exhaust is dragged away from the bumper by doing this. I've seen a lot of antique, possibly original exhaust pipes with this arrangement.

Got it mate!

Hi Aris have a look at page 29 of the latest newsletter. It shows a Factory shot of a cabriolet with a chrome extension.

Thank you both, it is now crystal clear!!! 

Aris,
As Tim says the end of the pipe should extend to the plane of the bumper. A few years back when I was installing my exhaust , the research I did at the time said also that the end of the exhaust pipe should have about a 45 degree angle with the short side down toward the pavement. This tends to draw the exhaust down away from the bumper. Numerous old, possibly original exhaust pipes that I have seen have this configuration. At the moment I can't put my hands on something more solid to document this characteristic specifically for a Cord , though it is an accepted one in general for exhaust systems.
Just from a fluid flow basis , you don't want a slight bell on the end of the pipe. like you have. This geometry tends to spread the exhaust flow as it comes out the end of the pipe.

Hi Aris: the exhaust tip should come out to the bumper. That would prevent most of the discoloration. A dealer accessory chromed tip should also come out to the bumper.
Tim.

OK Here are the pics of my current pipe end, I hope I can get some help with my questions, here they are:
1. For originality, should the end of the exhaust pipe be chromed or plain steel metal?
2. How far should the exhaust pipe extend in relation to the bumper above it? Should it end before, at, or further out from the bumper above it? The reason I am asking is that my current pipe ends before the bumper and the result is that the bumper gets covered with soot and residue, which eats the chrome and rusts it.[attachm  

Hi all once more, I'm in the process of replacing the end of my exhaust pipe and need help with my following questions.1. For originality, should the end of the exhaust pipe be chromed or plain steel metal?2. How far should the exhaust pipe extend in relation to the bumper above it? Should it end before, at, or further out from the bumper above it? The reason I am asking is that my current pipe ends before the bumper and the result is that the bumper gets covered with soot and residue, which eats the chrome and rusts it.Thanks ahead!Aris
