I convinced my girlfriend that is what real men smell like.

We've been married for 37 years so she either bought it, is just playing
along or has lost her sense of smell.

Okay, not the latter as when I come in from the garage she can sniff and
tell me which car I have been working on.

TR3s & 4s have an 8" aluminum extension that gets the tailpipe end out past
the body a bit -- not downturned but 1 7/8" I.D. sounds right.
