Vincentdds,
We have an exhaust for the 993TT, but it is just the muffler portion - no cats...
Tony, my pleasure. Thanks again for the detailed test and strong review. I am pleased to have your company associated with SpeedTech.

Wross,
That's just camera angle - they fit perfectly. Here is a picture, just after an install. They both fit the same, but the left looks off due to camera angle. The right tip shows how they really look. Dead center - perfect fit. I can assure you the tips look fantastic when installed...and the chrome finish is better than stock.

I'm very interested in this exhaust and have the same question. If you look at the grey car on the first page, both tips look too far towards the outside of the car. The yellow car on the second page looks good on the passengers side but not on the drivers side. Do you have a "good" picture that shows both tips centered in the stock openings? I think this would help with your sales. I want to keep my car looking stock.

That picture sure is misleading. This seems like a great deal, but I have a few more questions if you don't mind.
What holds the tips on? Exhuasts I have purchased for previous cars came with the tips attached. Do they need to be welded or is there a clamp or set screw system?
Do the tips stick out the back more or less than the stock exhaust tips? I've seen various opinions on this.
Why no pipe between the two mufflers like the stock system or some other aftermarket exhausts? What is the purpose of the connecting pipe and why doesn't this exhaust have one?
Can you tell us where its made? Does overseas mean Germany or Italy or does it mean China or Vietnam? Any other brands you can name that are made in the same factory? Who does QC?

Gobble,
Sorry, I have been away from the computer for a bit...
IMHO, The Speedtech exhaust is not only a great value, but a great product. Take a look at our testimonials page for a few opinions.
http://www.speedtechexhausts.com/page4.html
The vast majority of our customers are extremely pleased with their purchase. I use one myself and love it.
The tips are held by a clamp - same as OEM tips.
The tips stick out approximately 1/2" more than the OEM tips - they appear the same as OEM, for all intents and purposes.
The connecting pipe is a design option that can affect the sound and some say it balances the pressure between the two sides, but we prefer to expel the gasses quickly from each bank and save the added weight, material and additional cost. We feel the connector causes turbulence in the mufflers and reduces flow speed. The Speedtech muffler achieves better flow and higher HP/torque with it's straight through design.
The exhaust is produced in Taiwan with modern robot tig welding exhaust equipment for uniform weld penetration and consistent quality. The quality is exceptional, as is the mirror polished finish. Manfacturing quality control is handled by our overseas factory and then all exhausts are inspected again at SpeedTech prior to shipment. We designed this exhaust in conjunction with our source factory and have it made to our specifications.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Best Regards,
John

So, I just got my car back and the tips are PERFECT! I also, in my infinite wisdom, figured out a way to prove this photographically. I took photos of each set of tips separately (Genius... I know 
). I even threw in a profile for those who think the tips stick out a foot or so back
Bottom line, it sounds great and judging by how my clutch was getting manhandled, it makes great power. It still stands to be seen whether it passes the wife test, but I'm a fan. However, if the biggest debate is over how it fits cosmetically, it fits perfect.

Thanks, Michael. That's what I have been saying all along, but you know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words"...this is how every one I have seen fits.

Is the discoloration in the center link of the tips where the exhaust flows out permanent? I have these tips on my stock exhaust and they have done the same thing (and can't be cleaned), and was hoping that a new exhaust would fix this problem.
