Oh boy!! that's a good one, I took the exhaust tips from a Tee tube connector, This is an all metal connector used to connect small diameter tubing...We have tons of this stuff at work so since the diameter and look was just right I used that. The rest is just a paperclip to connect each tip, I bend the paperclip in the middle to prevent the tips from pivoting up and down, The actual moffler is two pieces of double sided tape that sandwich the paperclip. I cutted a groove in one of the tapes for the paperclip to sit on, if not the bulk in the middle of the two pieces of tape would've made it look wierd.... I had a silver marker laying around, so I painted the paperclip and the tape to give it the silver look!!!
Now this will probably answer your question but does not help you if you want to duplicate it. You'll have to keep yours eyes open for something similar, I was thinking of using a piece of antena. they happen to have nice chrome tubing...but cutting it and giving a good finish could be a challenge, I don't know if the telescoping antenas get that small....usually the last piece is solid!
You'll have to keep your eyes open for something you can use! That's the beauty of homemade mods, no two are alike!!!
