When I purchased my coach the muffler had been damaged and the exhaust tip was missing, along with some other damage. I ended up purchasing a Walker muffler that was and exact replacement and had to fabricate a new tip to fit the opening in the frame and rear engine cover. After installing the muffler I realized that the tip needed some unusual angles to make it fit the space that was located for it. I first made a model with cardboard and tape and was able to cut it with a utility knife and tap it with masking tape. I then to the cardboard model to a metal fabrication shop and had them make a metal version of my cardboard model. I then took it to a local shop to have it ceramic coated before installing it. The really odd part was that when i dropped it off to have it ceramic coated Newell had just dropped off some tips to be coated so they were coated at the same time. I wish I would have seen the Newell tip before having mine coated and I would made a few changes.
                       

Here is a picture of the Newell tip that I took at the coating shop.
