Exhaust tips. Techart or Fabspeed?

I bought the car almost a year ago with Techart tips. Didn't care for them at the time and immediately bought Fabspeed tips. Techart tips grew on me and i kept them on until now. Now i need to help of the forum to sway me on which tips to keep. Or if i should keep them both and swap them out on occasion.

I have GMG which is similar to the FS. But I love the Techart double oval. Would rather the Techart look but I can not change mine.

Personally for me when the backside rims are kept clean, showing the intermeshed ovals, its money. Either are better than the horrible stock bugal horns!

I find the design of the Techart tips doesn't align with the rest of the car; they are the only overlapping curve. To me they look like they belong on a 996. The Fabspeed or GMG or even factory tips look better IMO. Each to their own though, I'm glad we all have a different perspective - would be boring as **** if we all had identical cars!

Agreed with NZ on this. I have speedtech quad tips and love them after I sprayed them flat black.

I may be a bit biased, but I have always preferred the quad tips since they look a bit more aggressive and fit the rear of the car better (in my opinion).

Is the rest of your exhaust still stock, or do you have any upgrades installed?
