I managed to install them no problem (read here, therefore anyone can!) although I did replace the bolts as the originals were looking very sorry for themselves!

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.

Does anyone know how easy it is to remove and refit these as mine look like someone has once tried to polish them with wire wool!
Replacements are due, so any good/cheap suppliers? Or does anyone know where I could get mine rechromed?
You will find that the bolts are seized up on older vehicles and will need to be cut off. You could be lucky and they snap when you try and undo them.
Expect to pay around £250 for a genuine set or you could try good old eBay

Haven't a clue on the quality on these but going from the photo it could be worth a shot.
you should find a nut under the rear of each tip..... or even worse they come with the pipe so are clamped about 10 " up the pipe....
both probably corroded and will snap on removal...
have you tried fine wire wool with car polish as they come up a treat...
I bought some Turbo style tips from
www.vertexauto.com
in the US - they were under £110 delivered and are very good quality.
I managed to install them no problem (read here, therefore anyone can!) although I did replace the bolts as the originals were looking very sorry for themselves!
Chauch, were these the ones -

Did they fit in the back ok as I presume they are larger than the existing ovals?
Looking at mine, I think someone has tried wirewool, but very aggressively, and stripped them beyond repair. Look very corroded under so I guess it will be a new bolt as well.
They are indeed the ones, although I think from memory they were $149 + shipping when I bought them, so have gone up a lot for some reason.....
These are mine fitted:
I had an Agency Power exhaust prior which sat slightly higher than the standard, but even with that, they still fitted fine...
Hi Tim,
Just sold my 996 and have a pair of TechArt tips - brand new, never fitted, was about to pop them on ebay but if you're interested let me know and I'll e-mail you a few piccies.
Cheers,
Jon
