Tony Norton Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi All, we need a new trim for the end of the exhaust of our '99 Mohican. There are loads on the market, some dirt cheap, others an arm and a leg. Now I would expect stainless steel to be dearer than poorly chromed mild steel from China, that's not the problem. My query is, why do practically all the tail pipe trims I see fitted to Ducato based motohomes have a "D" shaped cut-out on the underside? I'm damned if I can see the purpose of this. Any comments?

spartan3956 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 You right about the cheap chrome trim they rust immediately so get sprayed black on my Mohican after one season . The exhaust pipe isnt long enough to clear the body and leaves soot on the body work as you probably know. I would go for some stainless pipe and pop rivit onto the pipe would last as long as the exhaust. The D section is just a deflector forcing the gases down to the floor no advantage but could restrict gas flow better straight pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 When ours fell apart I made one up out a piece of scrap sheet aluminium and pop riveted it to the exhaust pipe - that was three years ago and it still looks good. Cost - a quid for the aluminium from the local blacksmith plus a bit of time! A 6" length of stainless steel tube offcut would have done even better but he didn't have any the right size!
