You asked, I answered.

My feelings too...the tip looks too modern, in addition to the angle. I also think flat black looks much more traditional.
CCX2-2505...gone, but not forgotten....

Kurt,
Of the 7 built....I know of the following:
- mine, #5
- its sister car that was delivered in NJ the same as mine, and has been thoroughly thrashed and in a couple of accidents
- the Mule, #1... painted in Canaska colors and raced...I beleive its new owner is a sometime member here on CC.
- 2 which were sent overseas to the UK w/ RHD to the Contemporary dealer there.
That is 5...all that I was ever able to account for.

You read enough about the tip,but my take has to do with ground clearance.My undercar exhaust exits as did the originals out the back.My reason was because of the noise.Had a bigblock Vette with side exhaust and really got sick of the blaring pipe outlet less than 3 ft from ear drums l.The lowest point on my car is the Lakewood bell flange,and it has been trimmed.Another .02 worth.

from the pic angle it looks as though there is contact of the pipe to the body........avoid this........there will be pipe movement from torque and expansion and contraction. also the harmonics will be transferred to the body and make unusual sounds.

That tip - nah, sorry that looks not good. I like your work and how much effort you put in that car...but you kill many positive with one negative.
Other words: That tip does not have the character as the car has - please don't go the "PepBoys/Autozone" route  .
