nah I still think they are for a turbo. Thank Felix for attaching the links. When you click on those you can see that the n/a attaches at an oblique angle and the TTs attach at a 90 degree angle..that's the important part.
The excessive loop in these tell me that a fabricator was playing with and looking for a particular resonance; its shocking what an extra 1-2 ft in simple length make in sound.
It doesn't matter what the pipes look like at all....you could have "loop-de-loops" like a twisty straw its the angle of attachment that matters and these are right angles used only on turbos.

I can guarrantee that they won't fit any of your cars, TT or N/A. They're basically a couple of doorstops. Coincidentally I need a couple of doorstops, so if you don't mind just send them to me. Thanks, I'll be checking the mail. :-)

......interesting.......You know, I have been needing some new doorstops. It's an interesting angle I hadn't considered before. Thanks for looking out for me!

They are almost certainly for a NA car at this point. The new question is: are they for a WB or NB NA 993? I tried all kinds of different approaches with both by-passes and they just aren't meant for a turbo. It was really, REALLY difficult to photograph, but here's the best I can do.
