The clip-on downspouts for RV's have worked very well for us, to reduced the black streaks.
Be careful ripping PVC pipe. I have done it. And I was very surprised with how much stress there was in the pipe. I have had it pop open as it was sawed, but worse than that I have had it clamp down on my table saw blade. And you won't know what it is going to do until you're in the middle of a cut. Be prepared with wedges to insert in the kerf as you go.
