Question Which Exhaust Tip?

I have been struggling with which exhaust tip to put on my car. I have a Milltek exhaust and have looked at EVOMS and Techart, but I know that there are a ton others. I want chrome to match my car -- see below:



Attached are pictures of the Techart and EVOMS tips? Currently, I am leaning toward Techart, but they are pricey and I have heard about fitment problems. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

I prefer staggered look. Jnixon has them on his wht 997tt and they look sick! I'd love to find that look to fit on one of my 996tt's. Let me know if you run across some. GL!

They claim about 40hp, but it is hard to tell as I did exhaust, headers, and ecu at the same time.

40 is really good, how many HP do you have now?

Evoms. I think the TechArt "double pipe" staggered look appears a little gimmicky. I like the simple dual tips look of the Evoms.

Although I love the look of the Fabspeed tips, I would not recommend them. The fitment is not good. The tips comes with a metal "o" ring about 1" wide that fits inside the exhaust tip. The o-ring is designed to make up the space between the interior diameter of the tip and the outside diameter of the stock exhaust pipe. The problem is the o-ring does not stay in position when installing and slides inside the tip, which prevents the tip from sliding fully on the exhaust pipe. Unlike the OEM tips, which come with an o-ring as well, the OEM o-ring is recessed inside the tip which essentially locks it in position. In order the install the Fabspeed tips, I had to remove both o-rings. Although I fully tightened the tips on installation, one of the tips "blew off" my car under hard accelleration. Fortunately, I had the top down and heard it hit the ground. Perhaps the fitment is better if you use the Fabspeed exhaust.
