Hello all new poster I just bought a 1970 Road Runner trying to make it as factory correct as possible. Purchased a new exhaust for it and from the factory no exhaust tips. I see road runners without exhaust tips the rear tailpipes come straight down.
the tailpipes that i purchased are kicked to one side on a angle is that correct? do the pipes come straight down under the bumper. thanks

Do you mean kicked to one side as under the quarter panel between the rear wheel and bumper? That would be for a station wagon...a 383 station wagon with duals would have each one kicked to the side.

BTW, what do your tailpipe hangars look like? The OEM tailpipe hangers for "turn downs", "chrome straight tips", and "station wagons" are all different.

Obviously, you don't have a station wagon. :)
 
I saw your post in the new member welcome section. As other people have said, if the car's production plant was "E" (Los Angeles) in the seventh digit of the VIN, it would have been built with factory turn down exhaust tips exiting at the back bumper as shown in the drawings that have been posted. I have read that the reason for this was that it had to do with California specific emissions and maybe noise regulations that forestalled ordering any other exhaust tip option.

Another thing about the Los Angeles plant is that looking for a Broadcast Sheet for a car built there may be a bit of a wild goose chase. There are other more knowledgeable members than me on this site that can confirm, but--supposedly--that plant had some type of directive to clean up scrap paper on their assembly line. Apparently, broadcast sheets were disposed of instead of tucked up under carpet pads or behind seats/inside seat springs, etc. as was the case in other Chrysler plants. I've owned a few L.A. built Mopars and none of them ever yielded a sheet, although maybe your car is one that snuck through.
