To be honest, it all depends if you want to comply with MOT regs.
I seem to recall your exhaust must vent downwards on a diesel and with the previous links, it still will do but that only gives you 2 x single tailpipes. You could then add a straight twin outlet pipe to each of your singles or cobble something together to get the effect you're after.
You could on the other hand fit these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Stainless-S...0161wt_784 which possibly don't comply with regs but could be removed at MOT time.
Beware however, other posters have reported melting bumpers with the last link. Mods:

8) ok mot wise is no biggie as you say I can just whip them off!
I take it there's no adverse effects from venting it this way? Or I guess I could possibly alter it by cutting a hole out like the first link so it still goes down? Much to ponder. Thanks for the help so far blessed are the losers ,for they determine the winners

Not an MOT fail if a DPF is fitted.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

No, a D3 doesn't have a DPF unless specifically ordered with one, and I think that was only really available in mainland Europe.
The soot in the tailpipe is a dead giveaway that there is no DPF fitted. A DPF equipped car has a clean tailpipe.06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

No, not earlier ones don't know about later models, but the Fabia might have.It can when others can't,
