Contemporary Sidepipe Fender Exit Question
Back to the board for more guidance.
I've a Contemporary that I'm converting from under car exhaust to sidepipes; kids are now old enough to listen - or learn (hopefully the first).
The fenders have never been cut out for the sidepipes. The car is painted, and I've one chance to get it right.
I understand that ERA sources their pipes from the same supplier as Contemporary had, and I'm using one of the cut-out templates from the ERA manual.
The template for the opening is 5 1/2" high, with the upper limit 4 1/2" under the bottom of the louvered opening in the fender on the passenger side (4 3/4" driver side). According to the template, the forward most limit of the opening is 2" from the rear lip of the wheel arch. Make any sense? A technical writer I am not!
May I indulge a Contemporary owner whose computer may be handy to the garage to confirm these measurements. I expect some variance from ERA's numbers, and would be grateful for any feedback.
Thanks....Denis in the frozen north.
