HRTT9177 https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/extension-tail-pipe-chrome-2-hrtt9177.html It is not the same as the original NOS item I have as that is a diagonal slash cut outlet end and made from anodised aluminium. Some one did a stainless item once and I have a sample somewhere. I changed it for the aluminium one which looks so much better. No doubt some searching on the sales sites would turn up another design. https://exhaustpartsuk.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1516_1517_1277&products_id=844 cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike3md Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Roger, If you have a local exhaust specialist (not the Kwikfit type, but one that does custom systems), they can probably find you a piece of stainless made to fit, slash cut and polished up to your liking.

foster461 Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) When I bought my TR3A project in 2010 it had a newish looking chromed exhaust trim fitted. It was the first thing that I removed and the last part that I fitted 6 years later. It was the only part on the car that I did not have to repair, replace or refurbish. It looks just like the Moss part. Stan Edited January 6, 2020 by foster461 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 FWIW I like the polished Alloy trim piece. You get a really nice raspy crisp exhaust note from the tail with one fitted. With care you an achieve a mirror finish that looks well. Easy to make and polish. length of alloy pipe cut before polishing and then progressively finer wet and dry and a final polish on a polishing wheel . Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
