Default Fake Pipes

Rather than hijack Hogster's thread, I am thinking about fitting some side pipes. They would be entirely fake, as I have an underbody system, and I wanted them to be simple and matt black. They are there for some degree of visual effect obviously, but also for stone protection. Something like:



Are there any others with similar setups? Also, for a single pipe as shown what diameter is best (80-90mm)? Finally, I can get them fabricated locally here by a mate, but I was also thinking about weight. Could they be done reasonably in aluminium?
