Is it possible to get an attachment so I can split my outlet to make 2 outlets from 1.

Trying to split direction of flow and reduce it.

The split wants to be after the bend (over tank glass) in the water.
 
It's usually a DIY depending on the type of exhaust nozzle your filter has. If you mainly just want to buffer the flow, a piece of filter sponge placed over it will make the water drop like a gentle waterfall instead of jetting out. Rubber bands work to hold it on if a cube of sponge won't stay on it's own.

That's it. Spot on.

I have a allpondsolutions something like 1200 l/h so a bit to much flow on the jet for my 190l.

Do you think that will fit? Looks about right from the pic
 
Yeh I have the 1000 EF version of that same filter and also want this outlet!
I have been trying to find the dimensions of that double outlet piece but cant seem to. 

Do you want to be the guinea pig or shall I?
 
BTW do you think the spray bar sections a funny size with these filters? (as in 1 piece on its own is not enough yet two pieces is too long for where I want it)

Never used the spray bar as it's supposed too. I use it underwater to try to decrease flow rate.

Did you get the surface skimmer attachment on the inlet? Can't get it to work without taking in air
 
I just use the outlet with nothing apart from the angle piece attached. 
 
Yes but i left it blocked off as a skimmer is pretty useless on a tropical freshwater tank
