Is there a sponsor here that sells these tips?
I like the turbo look if possible on a 996.

Thanks a lot.

 

ebay...

 

I've got a set of black fabspeed tips for sale if you're interested...

there are no real good "affordable" tips out there, especially for a 99. I researched this in depth and they are all overpriced to the extreme for what they are and how they are all made.
Here is a link for a low cost decent option.

I went with the Blacks and they fit perfect and have held up great. They are slightly larger than stock


here are turbo style

Somebody has to make an affordable set of stainless tips that look nice?????

 

No...

 

That's not going to happen, because manufacturers base their prices on the fact that our Porsches retailed for over $80k when new. They don't price their products for the consumer that cheaps out & buys an extremely depreciated, 100k mile, 10 year old 996 with no options, no records, 5 previous owners, never serviced, & leaking RMS for under $20k at auction, lol.

 

I got a set of 997s tips on ebay for 70 bucks and just put them on my muffler bypass pipes.

 

I have a set of 996 GT3 tips that I haven't had time to post yet. They aren't turbo twin tip style though. PM if you're interested

 

I'm interested but a newbie so can't respond to PM yet, please PM or post a pic and price.

Thanks,

Alan

 

Dang, kinda harsh. I though Corvette tax was bad.

 

anyone get custom tips made at an exhaust shop?

 

Not all of us have the means to purchase, or desire to purchase a "new" $80,000 car. Actually, maybe its that we have the common sense to know that we are throwing $45 grand out of the window in 4 years just for the sake of being able to say "yea, i bought it new".... to anyone that asks.

Save the condescending bs for someone else, im not impressed.

take the depreciation hit, or take advantage of the depreciation hit...which side is best? Relax people, we all come from different walks, to the same P-car...in due time.

 

Just keep stalking the FS section. I picked up a set of nice C4S tips for around $70.

 

EB847,
Can't respond to your PM for tips due to some limit issue here.
Can you PM me over on Rennlist? Same name...

BTW,
P/N 996.111054.04
Don't know the year, but I put them on an '01 996 C2 and thought they stuck out too far. I believe they are sized for the new bumper covers w/ the extended lip.

They are oval w/ the lower section flattened for ground clearance. They are adjustable in how far they stick out by about an inch.
Mine are used but there is also a brand new set on Rennlist too...
