You need to adjust to the lowest point which is around 1 inch and an 1/8. At about 1 inch it was really getting the heat plate too hot but that little extra made a huge difference.

Once you install them you will never go back. There is no way you can go larger than 100mm for certain w/o melting some thing.

Yes...they are available, just not listed on the site. Call them and they will fab a set and ship them to you. I have them on my 991.

They have never stocked a lot of sets for 991 GT3...when I called for mine they had 2 sets available and I waited and lost out for a bit until another set came in a few weeks after when I checked back. I'm sure they will add them to the site soon and better stock of them going forward.

Default WTB Sharkwerks 100mm RS tips (Black)

the latest from Alex....

"Hey Eric, we actually haven't released them yet and trying to fill orders in
under the radar until we do release them 100mm tubing wasn't easy to come
by... I should have some made in the next several weeks. However I don't
think we're going to be able to do a group buy until late in the year when
we're fully stocked"

Personally I would encourage early adopters and view them as an advertising source if I were developing a new product particularly when competing alternatives exist. The early adopters would post their experience with the product and if positive would lead to greater sales down the road. Just my viewpoint, SW clearly has built a great reputation and well deserved. At the end of the day what do I know?
