Could someone send me a picture of the turn downs on a Hipo car? Terry

Thanks for the pic but, are the turn downs the same on the later exhaust system? My car was built in June 65.

Your car would have the turndown extensions instead of the tip made into the rear pipe. You can find these from time to time on ebay or NOS parts vendors. There may be a good reproduction, but I haven't looked for any in a while.

Generally, though, the look of the turndown is similar.

I've been looking for a set. I thought if I new what they looked like I could have a set bent. Just not sure what the radius of the bend is and how long they are.

NOS pieces do show up sometimes, but the reproduction ones are readily available at a cheap price from the usual Mustang parts vendors. I'd bet you can't get a custom made set that will look any better than NOS or a reprodution, and custom made parts usually cost a lot more...

NPD has them and they're inexpensive.

Does the repo ones have the engineering numbers on them as the original ones ?

I haven't seen any repops with the engineering numbers stamped on them.
