Was the chrome "ornamental exhaust pipe" (901-111-245-01) standard on 914-6? Authenticity book just indicates "there was a chrome removable tip".
Is there an easy way to distinguish it from the myriad of other exhaust tips (e.g. diameter or markings on the part)? If I go shopping on the boards or auction sites, I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks. |

914-6 was a special tip, has different angle cut to fit muffler because of tail pipe bend.

Here's what mine looks like. Top view/bottom view. No idea if a 'factory part'. Installed by the Dr when AA did some work on my car 35 yrs ago. Just swapped the muffler for one of Ben's a couple years ago so this was on the shelf.

Here is an original 914-6 exhaust finisher (tip). It has almost square shoulders on the tip. The reproduction tips we usually see are more rounded on the tip adornment.

Part # 901 111 245 01 from the 914 parts catalog
Can you each provide dimensions of the diameters and lengths (short side & long side)/? Enough to create a dimensional drawing? |
