Talking Mods Round 2B - *Ding*

I decided to continue with the whole white and black theme on the car. I hope it was worth the wait....I have been waiting 14 days for these.

Black powder coated exhaust tips.



Worth at least 50hp.

If they were yellow it would add 50hp. Black adds much less

But the thermal retention of the black reduces reversion, and increases torque.

That's BS, man. TOTAL BS. And you know it. The fastest exhaust tip colour is chrome. This is because it reflects light, which moves at 1,079,252,848.8 km/h. Because the tips are at the back, this energy propels the car, much like the warp drive so presciently portrayed in the Star Trek oeuvre.

It is important to note, however, that chrome tips should never be installed in the front of the car. This will actually cause time to reverse itself, turning your 996 into an air cooled car. Word to the wise.

Bruce, everything you said is true. However, there is much debate between the accelerative properties of chrome tips vs. stainless steel tips. The latter have been clocked on a 996 at an estimated 174 mph vs. 172 mph for the chrome times at Talledaga, but this was not under controlled conditions.

Statistically insignificant difference. Besides, Talledega is an oval track, is it not? Now, show me some 'ring times. That's gospel, baby. Everybody knows that Walter Rohrl took a narrow body 996 around the Nordschliefe in 8:17. What is not widely known is that they swapped out the tips after that run, replacing them with chrome. With the car still warm, he went back out and posted an astonishing 5:56. The record was never posted, however, because his engine grenaded due to a failed RMS and he coasted across the line. The RMS was found in Liechtenstein some months later, along with four pistons and a K&N filter. The remaining pistons are unaccounted for, as is the floating crankshaft.
