I bought one of these "extensions" from Aires expecting it to solve this problem. That "extension" as Ford designed it routed the exhaust further back alright, but it exits in the center of the vehicle. That did not work for me, so I went back to the original.

The AA truck was even shorter than the A car was. it ended right after the muffler.
