Default turbo exhaust tips on n/a

Anybody fit 996 turbo exhaust tips on an n/a car?

I'm trying to see if they match the exhaust cut outs in the n/a bumper.

Thanks,

This has been done on both MK1 and MK2 rear bumpers. IMO, it fits better on the MK1 bumper cutouts.

The OEM turbo tips will not work without some kind of modification.

There is a Tequipment and Aftermarket turbo "style" tips that are made as an option for NA cars.

I had some but sold them as one of the drawbacks was the pipe had a dimple on the piping restricting some amount of flow. This is done so it can clear part of the exhaust.

You might be able to use different piping though and get away with it since you have a conversion.

Thanks!

I am using the turbo tips as it will be easier to use a straight through tip (instead of modifying the n/a elbow).

Yeah, my exhaust will have nothing to do with OEM. I just want some nice tips and I sold mine with the fabspeed mufflers.

There is a set of the second style for super cheap on eBay. But it looks like the curvature of the exhaust opening on the bumpers wouldn't match up.

That's the same bumper as the Turbo, right?

Those look great, but they are out of my price range.

Many C4S models have the tips in the first set.
