Not really a fan of quad tips, not a fan of tips in general. I like the real thing.

I think I have GFX tips though, not sure.

Looks pretty good, similar to the tips on my wife's Porsche but inverse ovals.

Thanks. The tips were modified from their original state. They were originally too long, so we cut them down almost in half so they would fit. Then did some fab so the internals lined up with the stock exhaust and so the shell would line up within the bumper cut-outs.

The grey/silver area is just reflection of the pavement.

I've always liked the various looks of the Porsche exhaust systems.

Here is one more photo from underneath.

great looking tips. i couldve sworn that almost looked like stock audi tips from one of their models, but it looks much better on your ride. to make it work perfectly, i think there needs to be something that draws a little more attention to the exhaust tips themselves, maybe a rear kit or something that takes the eyes off the lights first. well done!

Yes u do, u sell out

Tips are fine, Every (after market and non aftermarkt) exhaust has tips, some are welded on some are clamped on. But I know what u mean, u dont like aggressive tips on a nonafter market exhaust.

Love it. i dont know why everyone was praising Javy and then sayin they dont like yours. Yours fit much better

I wanted to go this route, i test fitted the Porsche OEM tips but they didnt fit, they were too big


so you didnt cut ur bumper at all you just modified the internals of the tips to make them fit? Smart.

What tips are they? Porsche? or ur exhaust shop just fabricated u some?

Thanks. They are indeed Porsche tips, made for a 996... model year I do not know. My shop did a fair amount of Fab on these, which ended up costing more $ than the tips themselves. But I'm happy with the end result.

They look good now, but will really look aggressive and more at home when i finally pull the trigger on new wheels.

God damn you!!!!! Yea those are the 996 Turbo tips. I contemplated cutting the bumper but never thought to mess with the insides. Those tips were pricey as hell too.

Good man.
