Very nice. Dennis can you take some close ups so we can see the lettering.?

Thanks! I’m really pleased with the way they look. I’ve got an FVD muffler, and the stock tips just don’t quite sit right with the aftermarket muffler. I purchased the FVD polished, dual tips first. They don’t quite sit right with the factory cats. I considered going with 200-cell sport cats, but I’m afraid the car will be too loud for cruising with the top down. The Soul tips seem to be the perfect solution for me. Here are some closer shots of the lettering:

I love those. Very nice. I have been looking at the black straight cut from Soul. Did Soul do the Porsche lettering? Nice touch.

Pricey indeed - I love how the side skirts are a fraction of the price...

Thank you Sir.

Though I understand that it's personal preference, why would one want "Porsche" on the tail pipes of a Porsche? Notwithstanding, this would appear far better than having, e.g., Akrapovic on the tail pipes of a Porsche or the crest of a wheel company on the center caps of a wheel on a Porsche rather than a Porsche crest.

I thought it would be a unique little detail, and I’m pleased with it. I think it looks much more interesting than plain, black tips. I suppose I could have had my name put on them....

Can you please provide more details on the weight difference?

Could you also provide a sound clip and comments on cabin noise?

The custom painted rear lip and exhaust tips look great!

I think they look great!

I installed my Rennline magnetic iPhone holder today, with a little help from the wife. She's more handy than me . Looks and works just great - very happy.

According to Akropovic, their Turbo S titanium exhaust is 14lbs lighter than the stock exhaust (this the cat back system I’m talking about). However, both my Porsche mechanic and myself felt that may not be accurate. The stock muffler requires both hands and a solid grip to carry, and it is quite heavy. The Akropovic muffler I could carry with two fingers easily. Believe what you read, or what your own two fingers are telling you?

Cheers,
I’ll admit I haven’t recorded a sound clip, but all my fellow PCA 911 buddies have said how incredible it sounds at WOT. Exterior and cabin noise are approximately 30-40% louder than stock at WOT, but it is a glorious noise, that I can’t get enough of!
Just cruising around, the sound is only slightly louder than stock (10-15%).
Power and Torque increases are minimal (10HP/10ft/lbs torque). But it was the sound I wanted to dial up, plus the unique look of the Akropovic system had me sold the minute I saw it. I felt the power on my ‘19 Turbo S was enough already, at least for me.
