Yeah, I wouldn't drive my car without something to divert the gases/flames away from the car.

"Flames" is more like a "Flash". A quick burn of excess fuel/air coming out the pipes. It happens so fast I doubt it would damage paint.

Yes, but is a dual tip much louder than a single tip?

I have a Cabrio and I'm going Twin Turbo shortly. Trying to decide if I go with a single outlet or dual outlet

I agree, dual's look mean, but I also appreciate a quieter ride, especially when driving home at 4am from a nightclub when my ears are already ringing! Doh!

If your going TT then I would think you would want dual pipes. And yes it would be loud. Just run each pipe off each turbo straight back then you can have dual flames. Why are you going TT I only seen cars hacked up to get tt in the rear.
Good luck

Nah, I'd want it muffled somewhat. I don't like too much noise.

Twin pipes won't really make it develop more HP anyway... just more resonance and noise. Agree, it looks cool, but I think I prefer it a bit quieter since it's my daily street car.

I'm going twins cause I want faster spool than a big large single setup, and also, because I can

Why else has the factory stayed with twins since the 993TT?

I desided on the Fabspeed duals and got them from IA. I am glad they talked me out of the single out. It took two hours to cut the panel and bolt up. It sounds great and when you hit the RPMs, it wails. Not too loud, but not too quiet. Besides, you can control the output by your RPMs. I have a few muscle cars, but this 930 sounds great when approaching a stop light and downshifting.

Stephen evan helped talked me through the install on the phone.

Get the Fabspeed duals, period.

I have centered and spaced the tips since this picture.
