58 in 57 Exhaust chrome

[60eldo]

  Can I use 58 bumper exhaust deflectors in a 57 car?   They dont have the hole cut but could I make them work???  Are the 58s the same except for the hole cut for the exhaust?

[Jon S]

They are the same but why not follow the '58 tail pipe angle and avoid the through the bumper and associated corrosion?

I am with Jon on this one.  My bumper inserts are OK to paint or even plate but I rerouted the exhaust discharge under the car similar to the 58. Now to figure out how to make it look OK?

I have the 57 Eldorado model with the exhaust coming thru the bumpers . i just got tired of cleaning them . Had the pipe rerouted and always looks clean . Took me 10 years of going back and forth  should i or shouldn't  I . I am very happy with the choice i made to reroute  . However , nothing looks better then the exhaust coming out of those exhaust  ports on a cold crisp day in October
