This is not a probability of success.

I suppose i'll just have to check on the VIL for the option code for the sports exhaust to verify.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, Does anyone have any pics of a standard pre-facelift 996 exhaust and a factory fit sports exhaust? Is there any diff in look? or is it just about the noise and a little extra performance? Just wanted to know as i've seen a few in the classifieds..and can't tell if they really are sports exhausts or just the chrome tipped option... Cheers Taran :?:

POST 2Original post

Looks wise they are exactly the same. You can choose various different tips to go on.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oh ok, thanks Philip. Were the different tip options available from the factory...or after market? I suppose i'll just have to check on the VIL for the option code for the sports exhaust to verify. Taran :!:

POST 4Original post

exhaust tips are option from the factory and after market. Very easy to change...just a couple of bolts. factory options are listed in the log book + under the bonnet.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
