My techart tip flew off :*(

One my techart tips flew off during a drive, thing I'm pissed about I just had my mufflers put on from straight pipes and the shop which re-did my tips had them really sticking out way too far that proboly being the reason it flew off. I noticed it sticking out when I got home but figured I have it re-adjusted later on. Now that same one is missing.

Got to talk to my bodyshop tommorow about that, So choked.

That sux . Did you re trace your drive ? it's probably still sitting on the road , alone , neglected , scoffed up , and looking for a ride back to your car .

All kidding aside . I fell badly for you . I would feel sad if I lost my Techart tip but I know it's always a possibility.

If it was that loose it probably fell off within a mile of the shop. I bet it's out there somewhere, regardless the shop owes you a new one.

I lost a TechArt exhaust tip on the track. It was so banged up, I could not put it back on. They are not attached very well, IMHO.

Mine came loose once but I was lucky enough to notice it before it fell off. I've been double checking it since then. I think the body shop owes you another one.

Can't do that on a 997tt bc the tip exits thru the bumper unlike a 996tt.

That sounds good.

If I see a Porsche with Techart tips in front of me, I'll change lane or pass him right away.

Please let me know if you get this taken care of.
I'd be glad to help
