I would imagine it would be very difficult to 'bolt on' a set of chrome tips because to duplicate this angle. Otherwise, I think the exhaust won't look like it fits on the car.

Left 2.374 in = 60.3 mm
Right 2.390 in = 60.7 mm
I measured the actual interior diameter of each pipe about 1" in from the end. (I have some precision instruments in my shop).
Left 2.421 in = 61.49mm
Right 2.462 in = 62.53mm
So my right side is bigger - the opposite of yours. Sounds like the tolerances are +/- 1mm or so on the pipes, maybe tighter on the chrome tips - not unreasonable.

The exhaust on my Mini would expand when it was warm, causing the tips to extend further out past the car.
I wonder if the diameter expands also?
Were these measurments taken with the exhausts warm or cold?
