i'm looking to upgrade my exhaust tips on my 996 4S and wondered wanted get a feel for whats out there. any recommendations? factory/aftermarket? I have a tubis on the car now, so they would have to fit with the tubi. Thanks!

 

Here are mine...custom made, but similar to the Porsche factory tips...

 

very nice, who made them?

 

Love those tips newport

 

A place in LA...AAA exhaust...it was WAAAAAAAAY cheaper than factory (and a little larger I think) and they are custom fitted to the car so it looks PERFECT....About a month after they were installed a plastic bag got on one and melted, so it looked like the chrome was peeling...they took about an hour and polished the tips so they were perfect....could have said its not our problem....but they stood behind their work and made it right...great guys. They do ALOT of high end cars....all custom.

What did the tips without labor cost?

 

Do I see a small piece of insulation or something similar that is attached to the rear bumper that goes around the tip opening? Is tht because the tips are larger and there was concern it would melt the bumper?

BTW...it does look good

I have stock tips on my car although they are after-market chrome ones, but still stock size so nothing special to see.

 

I think it was about $250 installed....

 

Thats the standard hardware on a TT bumper....if you get a factory TT bumper with all the hardware, that will be there.....Its also on the C4S of the original poster up top....Alot of aftermarket bumpers dont have this.

 

is it a standard tip they use on the porches that they just weld on to the factory pipes?

 

 

They have a LOT of pipe selections....you pick the pipes, they cut to size and they weld them onto your pipes and adjust. Takes a few hours...and they do a great job.

 

Price of stainless went up. $500 installed now.

 

wow....thats double!

 

your math skills are most impressive
