The only dimension I find in the shop manual is the dimension between the trumpet and the opening trim "This dimension must be concentric within +/- 3/16 inch"

Not too many originals to use as a guide and any of the press photos/dealer brochures have to be taken with a grain of salt.

I think this pic shows the tips pretty close as they were originally:

I have an original FOMOCO dual exhaust and FOMOCO trumpets on my Acode and they stick out 1 3/8" on the top and 4 1/2" on the bottom measuring from the trim ring to the end of the trumpets. Hope this helps.
