If they are at all like the 993 clamping system then you will be able to adjust those up further to fill the cutouts.
Leading evidence: 'Adjust those up further' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust those up further' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Bruce, your story rings true, however...Walter was hung over from a previous night Oktoberfest bash and his impaired condition on the following morning adversely affected his Nordschliefe run of 8:17.

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.

I decided to continue with the whole white and black theme on the car. I hope it was worth the wait....I have been waiting 14 days for these.
Black powder coated exhaust tips.
Worth at least 50hp.
C.
That's BS, man. TOTAL BS. And you know it. The fastest exhaust tip colour is chrome. This is because it reflects light, which moves at 1,079,252,848.8 km/h. Because the tips are at the back, this energy propels the car, much like the warp drive so presciently portrayed in the Star Trek oeuvre.
It is important to note, however, that chrome tips should never be installed in the front of the car. This will actually cause time to reverse itself, turning your 996 into an air cooled car. Word to the wise.
Bruce, everything you said is true. However, there is much debate between the accelerative properties of chrome tips vs. stainless steel tips. The latter have been clocked on a 996 at an estimated 174 mph vs. 172 mph for the chrome times at Talledaga, but this was not under controlled conditions.
Statistically insignificant difference. Besides, Talledega is an oval track, is it not? Now, show me some 'ring times. That's gospel, baby. Everybody knows that Walter Rohrl took a narrow body 996 around the Nordschliefe in 8:17. What is not widely known is that they swapped out the tips after that run, replacing them with chrome. With the car still warm, he went back out and posted an astonishing 5:56. The record was never posted, however, because his engine grenaded due to a failed RMS and he coasted across the line. The RMS was found in Liechtenstein some months later, along with four pistons and a K&N filter. The remaining pistons are unaccounted for, as is the floating crankshaft.
Got it. I had to tighten the F&*k out of the clamps. It worked.
My only complaint about the tips - I really thought they were a bit bigger. Still looks good, IMO though.
If they are at all like the 993 clamping system then you will be able to adjust those up further to fill the cutouts. Have to play with them a bit to get it to look right. The black looks nice though!
Chad, I think you need to send your jack out for a powder coating. It's the only thing in the picture that isn't black and white.
Just kidding, Looks good! Hey, can you post a pic again of what your ride looked like a month or so ago when you purchased. I think everyone would like to see the before and after...think it was really nice looking when purchased, would like to see if I like the blacked out version better.
Proly - they looked a lot bigger in the photos before I ordered them. I think the GHL's cause this. In person, they look pretty good. Already received a couple of comments from people on how mean the car looks.
Carl - I'll post before / after shots when she is done. More to do..
C.
Chad I think they look a little small in the opening, but then so do mine. I am going to get the large oval tips to fill in the opening more and go with black chrome.
Bruce, your story rings true, however...Walter was hung over from a previous night Oktoberfest bash and his impaired condition on the following morning adversely affected his Nordschliefe run of 8:17. I might add that being hung over didn't ever seem to adversely affect Mickey Mantle, but that's another story.
What you didn't menetion is that when Walter came in, he drank 1 litre of a special home remedy for hangovers (brewed by his mother) and had a tryst with the daughter of one of his crew members. Once back in the car (with new chrome tips and a smile on his face), his condition improved, and so did his time...all the way down to 5:56. It was a remarkable run, as you suggest in your post, but the blown engine took a bit of the shine off the day.
