Default Fabspeed Tips,..or OEM big ovals?...

I have always like the big ovals. But saw the fabspeed tips. Do they look good in the flesh (or chrome ) as the big ovals? I have also heard they have some fit problems?


The good news is they are about half the cost of the oem. I love the look of the oem's but $600 to tips

Gert and Suncoast both offer them as available for GT3s?

The tips your referring to are what I have said are not for the MK2 GT3, they are for 99-01 996 3.4L and MK1 GT3.

I used to have FabSpeed's tips on my 996... they looked really neat... much better than stock...

Are the GT3's stock the same as on 996's C2 stock? If they are the same then I will certainly get them when I get FebSpeed's muffler...

The Fabspeed bypass tips look much better than the stock tips.

They also stick out about an inch further.

The stock tips on the 02+ are nice, much better than the stock tips on the 99-01

As promised...





They didn't photograph that well. Mike (996FLT6) saw them yesterday, maybe he can chime in with a description.

Joe, with all the advertising I'm doing for you, I better get one heck of a discount on future purchases...
