Hi All
I have a nice looking stainless exhaust on my TD5 but it splatters oily soot on my caravan when towing. So I want to add a tailpipe finisher that looks straight but deflects the exhaust gasses downwards. Anyone have any idea where I can buy one?

If u look on ebay for chrome exhaust trim you should find quite afew options for around a tenner.
They're usually held on by a single screw clamping onto your existing tailpipe. U need to know the outside dia. Of your pipe to choose somthing suitable

For part of my side exit I bought a stepped tube, sliced and rotated it then had it welded. Just a thought.

Yes, seen lots on eBay but what I want is one that looks straight but has a curved pipi inside that fires downwards with a false horizontal opening. Not sure if I'm making myself clear but I know you can get em.

yeh, but with the turbulence or what ever you want to call it, with the car moving around 50-60 your still gonna get this with whatever you put on, the only way a tail pipe pointing to the ground will work is stationary or crawling speed! i have this problem when i have mybike rack on, ****s the front wheel on my bike up with soot!!
