Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Get the polished exhaust tips. Chrome tips are too much bling on a Carrera IMHO.
What kind of tips do you have on your car now? I saw these tips on FVD's website and I think they look great (polished not chromed, of course).
Dell,
No, no, no -- I would never recommend $1,160 tips! The tips cost $425. The tailpipes cost $1,160. Anyway, $425 is still pricey but it is still less than the Tequipment sports (larger) oval tips.

Hey Dell,
FVD's online store is a pain in the butt. It doesn't let you right click or view the page source so I don't have the URL. But here's how you get to the page:
1) Go to
http://www.fvd-usa.com
2) Click on Skip Intro to skip the stupid Flash piece
3) On the main page, click on the Online Shop link in the left nav
4) A pop-up window will come up for the online shop
5) Select Mod. 996 (98-05) in the Car Type dropdown on the left nav
6) Click on Exhaust -> Tips on the left nav
7) Scroll down to the tenth item on the list (after the tail pipes and the bypass pipes) is the double round exhaust tips.
Here's a screenshot:
Dell,
I was in Vegas last weekend (March 4-7). I love your town. I used to work for SAIC before I joined Proxicom (got in right before the IPO
) If I had a gig in Vegas I probably would've stayed with SAIC!
PROG.....I did have a gig waiting for me when I got here 3 years ago but then Bechtel bought our operation out here and I decided against it. I am still on the books with SAIC but just not logging and hours till we go back. Only 1 more year here (on my wife's contract) and then we head back to DC!!! Fun to visit Vegas, but it blows living here.
MUNDMAN....As for those tips, they don't have them for the 3.4, just the 3.6
Jeff,
The stock 02- C4S tips will not fit on 98-01 C2 and 99-01 C4 (narrow body). However, Dansk makes an aftermarket version that will fit. Check out Mid America Motorworks (formerly Tweeks).

Hold on, guys....the "blended" pipetips from FVD (where it looks like one tip is slightly imbedded in the other), in the picture early on in this thread on the black C4S is NOT the $425 tips....the $425 tips are not imbedded....the imbedded ones cost over $1400....I called Rhonda at FVD, and she told me they're basically Gembella's, with the FVD logo...the owner of FVD is very close w/the Gembella company.....the $425 tips aren't as attractive....
I'm not sure which way to go now!!!! I love quality, and I'm willing to pay for it, but my wife would have my head if I spent $1425 for tips!!!!!
i took my stainless tips off yesterday to put onto PSE - what a f*cking nightmare
they do just bolt on, but it will take a while to get them off and i would advise getting two new clamps from thoroughbred for about $30
call in advance to order them!
thats exactly who I use
nice guy who doesn't seem to be a crook
i would still use thorobred for regular servicing, but for brakes and other mechanical stuff hes cool
the first muffler set i got was fabspeed and he charged my $200 and something to fit, but cut me a deal for $150 for when i changed them to PSE
