Can you produce 993 turbo bypass pipes with these new tips?

It's certainly possible, but we do not have a 993 turbo on hand to confirm any necessary modifications for the tips to sit perfectly in the bumper.

Pics of mine installed. They seem like very high quality pieces, I'm pleased with that.

If the tips are anything like the wide oval tips with the maxflo muffler kit, they will be great!

They look great!

Probably next week I will be able to install mine as they just arrived to my country.

Wish you'd offer a version to fit the early Fabspeed mufflers. It would just require a longer pipe out the back.

I am dealing with this now. Darrin is going to make me a set of adapters. I am sure he would love to help people out with adapting these tips to older maxflows. I only found out about this possibility because of Roche on here and messaging Darrin. He will take care of you.

The polished do not show as an option on your site.

I spoke with them today, and apparently the polished version was actually chrome plated. They have durability concerns, so have pulled that option. Not sure why they wouldn't just polish the stainless steel like OEM, but whatever. Both brushed and black look excellent.

If FABSPEED would just make the tips with a longer extension out the back, it would be much more rigid. An adapter just adds an additional coupling into the assembly.

We would love to offer this connecting pipe to make it happen, as a matter of fact i have been working with a member to try to make it happen with our R&D team through pictures sent via email. However, even with the kind help of that member the pictures are not going to suffice in developing that product. We need a vehicle at our facility with the old style mufflers installed in order to develop this adapter pipe with 100% accuracy, we do not want to settle for anything less than striving for perfection.

If anyone has a vehicle with our old maxflo system installed local to us, please give me a call and let me know!

That is correct, the the flat edge style of the tip the chrome plating along the edge has the potential to flake or discolor. We do not want to risk that durability concern for any of our clients down the road.

In regards to polishing stainless steel, of course we have the ability to do that. However, despite our polishing process stainless steel does not maintain it's polished color. Those that have received our X-Pipe in it's highly polished form, installed in it, and took a look at it again after a few drive/heat cycles can tell you that is begins to rainbow from the welds and eventually take on a nice golden tinge. Just polishing stainless steel tips is not enough to prevent discoloration from the heat, and is why we don't offer that option.

I realize that I'm trying to make this simple: IMHO, All you need is a set of the tips to the old system. Then make a fixture so that you can duplicate the same overall length by increasing the extension out the back of the new tips. I can mark how the rear valence intersects the tips with masking tape. If this makes sense, I can ship you mine on loan for a few weeks.

Finally got a chance to install my ceramic coated tips and they look great! Excuse me the difference between left/right side gap, but is already centered.
