Also, just been thinking along the lines of this. Could you not WELD or spot weld some pretty large tips to the flat end of the muffler that sits behind the removable panels in the bumper, obviously non functional but I just wonder what that would look like.
Adding tips to the existing downpipes would in my opinion look ridiculous unless one would weld them to face outwards!Now,that would be original and in character with the 3.0D!No more tending to pass off as 4.6 or 4.8?

Your idea to weld tips to the end of the mufflers was my other option before I fitted the 4.8's!Although not functional,it may not be a bad idea!It would look the same as if the 4.8 silencers were there,but with the added advantage that your exhaust gases would be flowing downwards.
