I have a P200 that had an extension tube on the exhaust made of copper. It fell off somewhere recently and I'm curious about the need/value of replacing it, or where to even find another. I'm sure someone is familiar with this.

I've used a 3/4" 45° copper plumbing elbow as a deflector to direct the filthy exhaust away from my white wall tires. It worked well doing the job as intended. I drilled thru where it lapped over the muff exit pipe and held it on with a single short sheet metal screw. I'm not the only one who's done this, and it looks like you probably found the same thing?

It looked far too good for a home job. I imagine it kept exhaust off the left side cowl but I never saw the point assuming a properly tuned motor.

I've done this on a few of my scoots Razz emoticon

Copper 45 fits tight over pipe - just enough to kick the exhaust off the tire, and down. Finesse some JBWeld over it to blend it all in and voila, hokedom at it's finest.

Oh, and a little high temp paint to top it off...
