So I bought a APS 2000EF filter a few weeks ago, and although at the time I wasn't too happy with it, I've now grown to like.
Still the only downside is the shoddy spraybar/outlet fitting.

So I was just wondering if anyone knew/can measure their outlet pipe size of reputable brands such as Eheim/tetratec etc, then my plan is simply just buy the spare part from them directly.
(I want to replace all the outlet section)

My main outlet pipe is 3/4" or about 19mm, so if anyone knows a spraybar attachment + the U bend to go over the back of the tank to fit that I would be grateful :).
 
Why not go to your local home improvement center and buy PVC piping to fit? Once you route the return into the tank, just cap a straight piece of pipe and drill holes along its length to make a "custom" spray bar. With 1/8 inch holes every 1/2 inch or so you can use a foot long or maybe a bit longer piece as a spray bar.
Sorry about the units, I am in the US. Drill 2 mm holes every cm or so along a length of PVC about 30 to 45 CM long for that custom spray bar.
 
Already had that plan, just wanted to see if there was one already made specifically for the job I could just order as a spare, PVC is surprisingly expensive in my local home depot that's all.
 
Upon reading some reviews I've seen someone bought the Eheim installation kit 1 + 2, and some eheim 16/22mm pipe, so although it's 3mm smaller, hopefully I can just squeeze it over my existing outlet on the cannister filter :).
