I bought a couple of chrome tail pipes from Cotswold a few months ago. Used their mail order service. It was very good and the chap who dealt with me was excellent. If I remember rightly on OEM there is quite a selection but only under one part number which meant identification a bit difficult.

I removed the little clamp and cut the bolt down to a few threads, unless I drive over someones head you'd never see them.
