Hi Dave,
The longest measurement is 12.9cm
Shortest is 10.7cm
And they're 6.8 cm in diameter

Mine arrived yesterday and fitted them this evening.
Simple push fit, they slide on as far as the 'hump' in the exhaust. This means they lengthen the tailpipe by a centimetre or so, but they look great. Push them home with the palm of your hand, making sure the drain hole is directly at the bottom. Tried tugging one off (oo-err!) but they seem firmly clamped!
No problems with the 'wheelbarrow handle' effect Acer!!
They fit perfectly under the valance. I'll put some pics up shortly.
Stu

First one on. Notice how they're a bit longer, and fit up to the hump in the exhaust.

Look great mate. I collect mine tomorrow, so here is hoping they fit. We will see. Your exhaust looks different to mine (your's angle up and mine angle down) but Shadey's pic looked the same as mine.

Hope it fits Acer! These are 68 mm, which is the same dimension as Shadey's. Are you buying from a store or the eBay link? I thought these were coming from China. Didn't expect them for a week or two! If you're buying from a store, I guess they would take them back if necessary?
