I agree....that's why I really like the RH set that I picked up in 19".

Classic Porsche design, with a huge, stylin stepped lip!

I know! =) Now the question is, how do I fix that... Had the car on a lift, and couldn't find anything loose. Not sure if the pipe exiting the muffler itself is bent... I'll have to look again. It's really kind of weird looking, the way it is.

I love the stepped lip bro and that beautiful dish but I don't like the center design of the RHs as it's nothing like the turbo twists. i mean, take a look, they're not the same at all.

Loosen up the band clamp that hold the tip pipe to the muffler and move it around till it looks right.

I had to take mine off my stock cans and re-install them on the AP's. It took a few adjustments and tweeks to get them right.

See....I disagree.

How can you say it is "Totally" different? It is a 5 spoke twist design that is very similar....not EXACT...but similar to the stockers.

Hey....the price was right. I kept the BBS's for track wheels.

the spoke swirling/turbine look on your RHs aren't nearly as dramatic as the oem wheels which makes it.... not similar at all.

you have to loosen the clamp that holds the exhaust tip to muffler. then comes the fun part: you wiggle the tip around until it's straight. then tighten. sounds easy, but it's kind of a pain. it works better if you can get a friend to eyeball the tip position while you move the pipe around.

I had to straighten my tips after the dealer had their hands on them...not hard to do...did it by myself.

i think the tips look best when they're close (within reason) to the bumper itself. plus, you have more clearance from parking cement slabs or whatever you call them.
