Default Turndown on a cutout. Step inside

I have a cutout on the car and will be ordering my electric cutout today. Now I have seen pics of people that put a 3 bolt flange with a turndown welded to it on the cutout so it will direct the flow of exhaust more towards the ground then the body of the vehicle.

Who all has done this and where did you get the parts to make the turn down with flange???

i have a turn down on mine. i just had a local speed shop take a old header flange and 45 degree bend pipe and welded it and i bolted it on. mine is kinda angled between the ground and the bottom of the car. so it is not pointed straight at the ground.
