I have an exhaust pipe extender/diverter for my 1954 Chevy Bel Air. I have three questions about it: 1) was this an "authentic" Chevy accessory - meaning it was an accessory/option you could buy from Chevy or a Chevy dealer when you bought an original car? I don't see it listed in the 1954 Accessories Installation guide, so I'm concerned it may not be; 2) if it's NOT authentic and installed on the car, will there be a deduction from judges at a VCCA meet?; 3) Any guidance on installing the accessory? It came with a tailpipe hanger, but I don't understand how it would be installed. Link to pictures here:

@drtyler - Yes! That's the one! It also shows a clamp that did not come with mine, so that's my missing link! I just need to find or fabricate a clamp like the one in the picture! It's strange to me that they don't show it in the "Accessories Installation" workbook.
@tiny It still says "You are not allowed to attach files on this forum..." That said, Dane Tyler posted a link to an Ebay listing that matches mine!
