Looking to refresh my exhaust tips. I like the twin look of the later cars. Will they fit?

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.

They will hang a bit low on an early car. The rear PU is deeper on the facelift cars, and the downpipe of the exhaust tip is longer to compensate.
POST 3Original post
There was a double-pipe look option* for the 996, though. Can the bits still be obtained? (Hope so ... mine has it!) *X54 or Y29 in the price list

...but can the end piece be decoupled and attached to early 996 downpipe. The ones I have seen for later are bolt on. Here is an example: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-PORSCHE-911-CHROME-EXHAUST-TAILPIPES_W0QQitemZ270271816497QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270271816497&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A4%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

Those are 997 tips, so probably different mounting. Take a look at the Tequipment catalogue to see what Porsche now offer: http://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/personalisation/tequipment/911-996/sport/ There are several aftermarket tips - I think Fabspeed make a double-oval tip for early 996's.

Thanks Richard. Found two useful videos on Fabspeed - worth a view. Nice sound of the bypass pipes too. http://www.fabspeed.com/videos/996%20&%20GT3%20&%20997%20Muffler%20Exhaust%20Explanation%20Video.wmv http://www.fabspeed.com/videos/996%20muffler%20bypass%20pipes.wmv

Are Fab Speed exhausts available in the UK? Does anyone know who distributes them here? How much am I likely to pay for one of their sport exhausts?
POST 9Original post
did you put those on yourself, or is that a garage job ?

I was temped by these from FleaBay. Non Turbo 996 Dual Tips They appear to be shipped from Taiwan!
POST 11Original post
I have looked at these Far Eastern ones too myself recently on Ebay. Assuming they have a good fitting, I cannot see that they would affect performance at all, in a negative way, unless anyone disagree's? I suppose the Chrome could peel etc. Tempted to try them I must admit. How can I tell if my strandard C2 996 tips are rusted on etc? Also it mentions welding on the Ebay page, anyone know how serious this is.

Tried to remove Turbo style tailpipes from my 2004 C4 last week. Fixing nuts very tight so applied blowlamp heat and wd40 and tried easing them backwards and forwards. Guess whats next- youve got it- captive bolt sheared off luckily leaving just enough thread to refix pipe without the original washer. Wish I hadnt bothered!!! So be carefull!
