I MOVED FROM MY TECHART TO FABSPEED, I HAVE A TUBI EXHAUST AND IT LOOKS AMAZING

Dont like the TechArts because of the fake opening. Heard of fitment problems w/ the Fabspeeds. I'm looking myself but havent found anything yet better than stock.

What's wrong with stock? Considering every configuration of the circle, square, oval etc has been tried, for the 1-2k they want for tips,IMHO, what a waste.

Personally I have never liked the squished ovals on the TT. But I guess this is a matter of preference. First thing I will do is change the tips to a double circle one on each side. Your correct though. 1K is excessive. IMHO.

In my personal opinion I like the simple dual exhaust tips but in your case since you would like a unique look I would go with the techarts

I apologize if this question was asked before but can you separately purchase these aftermarket tips for stock system - ie, stock exahust + aftermarket tips. I am looking for simple polished dual round tips for stock setup.

Or do you have to purchase the respective aftermarket exhaust system?

Thank you

I have the Fabspeed Tip, it's supposed to be the same as stock. I have no problem whatsoever fitting it on my Cargraphic Loud Exhaust, which implies it *should* fit your stock exhaust just fine. "Only" $650. http://www.fabspeed.com/997TT.html

Pat J - good point but still feels little odd paying $650 for freaking tips. I recall buying almost entire exhaust system back in the days for nearly the same money
