I am looking at a 64 Polara and I see it has new exhaust on it. I haven't seen it from underneath so I don't know much about it yet. I did see the tail pipe tips come straight out under the bumper. I looked through a couple hundred photos and saw that the tips are supposed to be turndowns which can be changed on this one. Has any one used chrome tips like off a Roadrunner on these early cars? Just curious as to what it would look like.

I think they could look very nice. Somebody here must be a good photo shop guy.
That's what I thought they might be a nice look. I sure don't like the old man driving a pick up look of the straight tips.
 
I always thought they looked a bit out of place. I prefer the 68-70 styles including the charger ones.
The GTX sat right behind the 64 so of course I had to snap a pic or two. I saw the tips at an angle and thought someone did a custom install. They are different for sure.
 
I've always thought the 70 RR tips gave the car a distinctive growl, there's lots of good videos where you can listen but here's my favorite:

 
1964 factory exhaust were turned down tail pipes. First Mopar chrome exhaust tips were the slanted ones on 1967 GTX. Curiously, 1967 R/T did not get a chrome tip. After 1968, they were an option on just about everything.
 
The turndowns probably look more “period” on the early 60’s but… as a hot rodder myself, anything goes!
 
A long, long time ago - 68/69 GTX/Road Runner tips on my 64. I thought they looked great.
