Need Exhaust Tips for 991.2 Carrera
#17
Unless they have changed their design, I'd venture to say when compared side to side with stock, you'll notice the Fabspeed ones protrude by nearly an inch
The Fabspeed tips are actually not custom made for our vehicles, they are sourced from a generic manufacturer in Taiwan, where as the SOUL ones are made specifically for the 991

I agree. Factory has the best fitting. If you observe closely the diffuser around the exhaust (for PSE) is not exactly a rounded shape; I think hence the PSE black exhaust tip is oval which fits in the 2 holes nicely. Also, the factory PSE protrude out just a tiny bit to sit flush with the diffuser. Others seem to stick out too far out, IMO.
I wished they kept the Non-GT car design the same as the GT with twin pipes in the middle.

I think the outer mounted oval base pipe looks a lot better than the gap tooth center pipes of the Carrera sport exhaust, for example. But if you don't like just do the factory quad tip which should fit exactly. I actually want to change the look of the factory Carrera T exhaust location. That center plastic section looks so bad to me.

I generally only have PSE on in normal mode which sounds great to my ear, but then I miss the rev matching. When switching it to sport I prefer PSE off simply because of the backfire which gets old quick. Thus, I spend most of my time without PSE on. The center pipes have grown on me, but quad looks much nicer in my opinion. Even the standard oval pipes look fine although I would prefer them in a darker finish.

I sometimes regret not skipping PTS to get a T...mainly for the Sport PASM suspension, which is so good, and the SportTex without full leather (and cost). The shifter and lesser noise insulation can be replicated, and the rest gets into pretty small details. But one thing that put the Carrera ahead for me was its lack of PSE—both visually and acoustically. I don't like the fakery. Have thought about the Sharkwerks non-PSE exhaust, but have actually grown to like the "quiet" exhaust—it's (almost...?) loud enough inside the car when I am on it, but doesn't bug other people or raise my profile. Something nice about that in 2020. If I had a T, I'd take a look at a SW setup or a used stock Carrera S muffler and the regular Carrera/S lower trim piece for the bumper. I wonder if that's all that would be needed? Other side is I am sure there is someone out there without PSE who would be all too glad to trade setups. PSE existed as an option for a reason...a lot of people prefer it.

I can see putting an exhaust on, but I'd leave those stock tips if it was me. Do you though.

Best fit I've seen remain the factory tips—and they offer twin round tips per side in raw stainless, chrome, or gloss black. They should bolt right onto your stock mufflers, and won't detract when it comes time to sell the car down the road. Most buyers prefer factory equipment. Then again, exhaust tips are easy enough to swap back and forth.
