P15 Stock Tail Pipe Configuration

[tollertdi]

My '48 has been in the family since new.  I have what I believe to be the original factory exhaust, but the tail pipe is rusted out on the end and missing I would guess about 10 inches of pipe.  Did the original tail pipe come straight out the back?  Or did it curve down?  Or go off to the right side?

Hello,

 As I recall, the P15 original tailpipes turned off to the right (passenger side) under the rear bumper. An exhaust fabrication shop in your area could produce a new pipe pretty easily, some even have patterns of the original pipes. Good luck.

Correct, the tailpipe needs to turn to the right as it passes under the bumper.

Waldron exhaust in southern Michigan makes pipes to the original patterns. I put their exhausts on both my 48 convertible and 48 coupe.
