Exhaust tips

Any suggestions on where to get a good deal on tips? I found a whole bunch on ebay that I like but they all say that it only fits the turbo or if modded could fit the C4s too.

Why doesn't it fit the 996 C2 Cab? Does it not fit on the bumper? Can that be modded without having to cut the bumper?

turbos use a different exhaust system than C2's. Besides, you dont wanna look like a poser rocking turbo tips on a C2 NA.
Try fabspeed, they're tips are pretty nice as I've had them on both my C2s.

+1. Don't forget to get the SS clamps. Much easer install.

doh! lol, i guess i'm a poser then but i just really love the turbo tips haha. Bought em from a 6speeder.

Only complaint was that one of the tips was a lil different than the other and the seller didn't honor that and wouldn't refund me =(

Luckily arling made it as close to perfect as possible.

if you keep on searching ebay there is a seller that usually has schnell x-50 tips that fit a c2 like your's. i looked for you but there are none listed at the moment.

Welcome to PA...Posers Anonymous....

Hi my name is John....and I am a poser.....



I didnt think that the dual tips were TT tips, just dual tips...I think they are factory options on all 996s when they became available....they just were more standard on TT's....

Mine were custom made for a FRACTION of the cost of most of them.....

I like them, it would be poser if you wrote turbo on the side of a non turbo, or put fake intake vents behind the doors. Like fake zo6-ers do. Nobody will look at your tips to see if your car is a turbo.
