The end of the turbine nozzle should be about 1" (2.54 cm) from the begining of the SS pipe. It is better to have a bell mouth for the pipe entry in an open install...

till the gold nozle is about 1/8" from the tube, in further and it'll run hotter EGT.

Actually most of the advice I've gotten is closer to what Ehab said - 3/4" from the END of the tailcone on the engine to the Front of the tailpipe...

Guys

Yes, 15-20mm is what I usually work on with that type of set up.
