We had a local customer stop by with a C4S for the complete Maxflo Exhaust installation, and the fabricators designed a prototype dual-tip for this application. I will keep everyone informed regarding the availability and completion date of these tips.

Fabspeed has another 996 C4S in the shop for exhaust upgrades, and the fabricators are finalizing the T304L quad-outlet tips. These are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OEM tips, and will fit with the OEM mufflers or Fabspeed's Maxflo Mufflers. The Deluxe Quad Tips are available for sale and will take a few days to produce before shipping.

I am getting ready to order a set for my C4, but which do you prefer? The chrome or the black chrome. My car is Black with yellow highlights.

The black chrome will be very subtle with the dark exterior paint. Thus the polished will stand out more. If you want that stealth look, go for the black chrome.

Any pics of the car on the ground? I think they look very nice from what I see here...

Is it me or do those tips scream "aftermarket" only because of the way the stock bumper exhaust holes were shaped in the first place. The tips are nice but the fact that it doesn't match the holes(no fault of Fabspeed) looks a bit odd to me.

Alpine, to me it seems like you have a problem with ANYTHING Aftermarket! If its not OEM you have issues with it! jmo

LOL far from it. Why do you say that? Just because I made a comment in one of the previous postings? I think the Tech Art or Tech Art "Styled" tips would be a better match as it conforms better to the openings. Still aftermarket but better match IMO on the turbo/c4s cars. Also, I've never seen the Techart style tips on other cars making it unique to Porsches. Same thing for Turbo Twist wheels, I always relate them to Porsches. FYI, I think GT3tek's Poly Rear bumper would fit the Fabspeed's better IMO but I don't think it's available for the c4s models. Once again just my $.02. It's not gonna make or break people.

Well you've got to admit MOST things you've seen aftermarket, you really don't like! Now, these 2 pics are not fair because they look toooo good (I think thats why you posted them cause they LOOK good enough to be OEM)! Lol!

LOL, don't really need to argue about such trivial topics. I do like some aftermarket stuff but I don't believe in making any insults for items that I don't care for. I think it's a bit rude and I try to refrain from doing so. I don't know how you came across me not liking MOST aftermarket stuff. Can you pull up any specific posts where I say something negative about aftermarket stuff? I posted two aftermarket things that I did like and you say it's not fair because they look too good? LOL. This seems like a conversation that High School or College kids typically have. OK I'm done responding to what you think I like.

Well, maybe it was just MY car (Lol). We're all in the same boat , I guess the ONLY thing that Really Matters is what YOU like for YOUR car, to each his own! Now we're BOTH Done!
