3. Precise cast flange (or CNC machined and laser cutting machined flange)

this is 3 very differant things all jumbled into one statement

cqhwaha( 0 )

hmmm.... no history of ever selling anything or shipping anything (though everyone had to start at (0) )

looks like a "stock" picture - I would like a real picture to see more detail, I'm not saying they are junk, but for my money to be spent, I would want to see those welds and know where the muffler parts came from, ect ect.....

Well, if it doesn't fit you can always just take it back to the supplier. IN CHINA!! From the pictures there is no way those tips are going to fit either a early or late 996 bumper. You can always be the test case, but personally I would run, not walk away from this. And who the hell needs a titanium exhasut anyway.

One questioner asked if it would fit a '99 996. The seller said "we've put them on '05 and '06 996's." Maybe China got those and we didn't (the '06 anyway - I know they did import some '05 996 4S's).

I guess I'm a loser.....I bid that bad boy up to a hunert, what the hey? (looked interesting) What's it up to now, $300+? I like the idea, two mufflers put together and kind of wondered why someone hadn't done that before....like, two mini glasspaks hooked up together.....$200. I'd buy a set for grins and giggles

considering knock off by-pass pipes go for over $150 - I think you are right... $200 for a "give em a shot" would be ok... wonder where they will end up

"Totally handmaded in Italy" Did I say Italy? China. Italy-China, mostly the same. LOL

Looks like the AfterHours exhaust except in Ti.

For a few hundred $$, it'd be a nice experiment.
