Default XR5 Exhaust Tips?

Hi all,
Long time Ford owner, AFF Newbie here.
Looking for a bit of advice on the XR5 Exhaust tips....I have a new 07 Zetec sedan and was toying with the idea of adding a XR5 exhaust tip to it..At the moment it has nothing and I think the rear would be enhanced with a tip...(I am surprised Ford don't offer that option like Mazda provide on the 3 model).
Anyway, my plan was to try and source (one) XR5 tip and get a panel beater to integrate it into my body kit?
What do you think? and where could I get one..or any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hey mate..First of all a Warm Welcome to the AFF community.. im sure youll love it.

In regards to getting a tip, that MAY be hard. Mainly Because im pretty sure the Tip itself is integrated into the Exhaust.. Not 100% sure on this though. I will ask a few people i know who have XR5T's and see what they say.

The exhaust tip that you should be looking for though is a Chrome 3" 20deg slash cut inwardly rolled tip. Any Exhaust joint should be able to provide you with one. Just go on in and ask for what range of Tips they have.

Hope that helps mate.

The OEM XR5T exhaust tip comes with the muffler as well. That is why they have less boot space than other Foci. So fitting the same system to your Zetec wouldn't fit. But I'm sure an exhaust place could figure something out for you if you like. I think a 3" rolled chrome tip looks nice just as photn has said.

Is the exhaust facing downward on the sedan like it does on the hatch?
