Question Schnell big ovals...feedback?

These exhaust tips are selling on eBay for $175...anybody got to see them up close? Quality? Comparable to the Fabspeed ones?

Thanks in advance...

Slippery slope here I go.........

Sounds as though you got your downhill ski's on Hope they are all waxed-up..

I have found the factory big ovals to be the only iterations that really fit well. I am referring to how flush they fit to the rear bumper cover openings. Many of the aftermarket tips seem to stick out and are not cut at the complex angle much like the factory tips.. FWIW

Since I am also in the market for exahust tips, I had the same exact question about the Schnell's (see them on ebay from Vertex). Chris's feedback is the first I've heard about user comparisons between tips and its interesting since a lot of people do the exhaust tip upgrade..

The Fabspeed and the Schnell are about the same price (~$350) so they appear an attractive alternative from a price perspective, however how they really look when installed is the KEY and the info we seem to be missing (Chris's above post does not get specific about vendors).. Just FYI, I heard that the Techart product is the same as the Porsche OEM and may even have the same part number (expensive, ~$600/pair).

I would still like to see a heads up photo comparison of the installed Schnell, Fabspeed and OEM/Techart so a definitive comparison could be made.

Just saw a big ad for vertex in Excellence or was it this month's Panorama? Had their product line up and a web site address. Looked to be the exact tips being sold on ebay.

Techart tips are the best looking, imho - a little pricey though, I wouldn't have them had they not been on my car when I bought it...
