John,
The answer to your question is they don't, extend past the rear bumper that is. BUT, there is something else you should know - on the Series 3-5 411s the exhaust pipes exit downwards. The tailpipes are blanked off a couple of inches inside the pipe. See attached photos
According to legend, Bristol did this because under certain conditions (50mph with window down 1 inch) exhaust fumes were sucked back into the car. Air flow around cars doesn't always do what one expects it to do! |
