Very nice and clean! The 996 you had as the example in the vid looks flawless...

No C4S option though.....

The only thing I can think is that having two equal sized pipes might look strange with the shape of the opening in our bumpers. Having one pipe slightly smaller might address that though.

The proportions are not quite right for me aesthetically.

I agree. It looks to Hot roddish to me and not sports car enough. They look very well built though.

Thank you everyone for the positive reviews. The fabricators informed me that they are going to design the dual-tips to fit the C4S. I should have more information next week as we have been very busy finalizing orders this week. I will keep everyone posted on the build for the C4S and if we can get a minimum of 5 interested, we can introduce an initial group buy price.

I have a set of these on my car for quite some time, the build quality is excellent and I was unsure of the aesthetics at first but I really like the look. They have held up great.
