Exhaust Tip Help:

Need some help!

I'm rocking an AWE exhaust on my car, namely because it came with my car. I really enjoy the sound and it is well built. However, one of the exhaust tips made it's own getaway a few weeks back which was upsetting.

I have always liked the look of the angled exits on our cars so I ordered some 304s and went to town. Unfortunately, as great as it looks, for some reason it has really muted the sound and grumble of the exhaust. I suppose removing the choke point where the exhaust went from 3' to 2.5 made the car quieter? I actually think now that 50% of the sound waves are traveling 90' from the other 50%, the sound is simply reduced.



As a result, I'm looking to see if any other unlucky bastards have lost one of their tips and would consider helping me make a pair again... I need a passenger side tip.

Any idea what these tips were originally from? Are they factory Porsche?



I had recently powder coated them gloss black... ugh...



Picture of my car...

Uneducated guess but those look like Schnell tips to me

Unfortunately it appears AWE makes the tips. The Schnell are similar and have a 30 day return policy so I may end up ordering them and seeing how they work.

I ordered 3inch UJ bends from Vibrant in 304 stainless steal and made the new exhaust exits. Basically 10 inches of tubing on each side of a 45' bend. It was a fun day project, too bad it's muted the great sound.
