I know this sounds a bit chav but until I get my twin exit custom exhaust made im looking for a stainless tailpipe trim to hide the brown one thats there at the moment.
I have a standard exhaust with the 3" tailpipe but I cant find a trim that goes past 60mm which obviously wont fit. I ideally would like it to go from 3" to 4" to fill the cut out in the bumper.
Does anyone have or know where I can get one of these. Ive asked a few shops but they were more than unhelpful.

That would be perfect but its 330mm long and from the back box to the bumper is only about 150mm max so it will stick out loads. I could cut it down but then I will either loose the rolled end or the mounting bracket.
I think im going to have to go for a 3.5" weld on type which is about 84mm ID so it wont move about much and self taper it to the original tailpipe.
Thanks for the reply.

I thought when i read it was 300mm that it would be too long, But thought it might of been an error in the advert as i've never seen a tailpipe trim over a foot in lengh?
If i find any more mate i'll let you know

In the end I got a stainless weld on 90mm pipe, drilled a hole and screwed it on from underneath. I dont know how much the genuine Lexus ones are but I think they are chrome and this is a stainless one and only cost me £20 from Ebay.
Just thought id post up a picture for everyone else with a standard exhaust. It looks a lot better than the black end i had before.
