1. Get a big straw and cut it to pipe length

2. Get "Sculpey Clay", then roll it into about a 6cm flat ball

3. sitck one end of big straw in the clay, producing a flat even sided pipe

4. Fill other side with clay, so clay doesnt push through

5. Get a smaller straw and cut to a little longer then desired length

6. Push the tip into the clay until its long enough

7. Paint silver or Chrome sticker it.

8. Paint inside of tip black

Heres and example painted sivler:

How big is the straw is it the standard straws we get at resturant places or is it bigger than those.

The canister of the exhaust is not, but the tip is.

I wrote a "how-to" with styrene, but couldn't find it because the search property dosen't work.
