Hey Ron, thanks for the input and the link to the 74 pic. It does look like the stock unit does point up towards the bumper. I was of the opinion that the exhaust was exactly the same for both the L model and the GTS models here in the USA. As a side note, You should know that the current replacement GTS pipes are one in the same units for both the L and pre-L models. The vendor simply takes a torch to the where the tips are attached to the muffler and he bends the tips to the correct Zero angle for the L-models. It looks like my solution may be to have a good torch guy with me and let him heat it up some where before the muff and then I will hang on the tips to get the correct clearances.
Thanks again..........Doug.H
