There are fit problems with these tips...THEY WILL NOT FIT A C2/4S!
Also the divider that splits the exhaust for each tip is very wide and it seems like would block the exhaust exiting your mufflers if the tips were pushed back like stock tip are.

I have a C2 Cab. No regrets. Love the car. But always preferred the dual tip look of the S.
Anyone have these tips?
The price seems reasonable at $289 and the website is offering 10% off right now. Anyone have these? Any photos on your car? What do you think?

my experience
I received the last pair from Vertexauto last week for my C2. The quality seemed very good. However, they did not fit. The original exhaust pipe on my C2 was much smaller that the pipe on the muffler tips. The tips came with two inserts; however, this still did not take up the difference in spacing between the two pipes. I called them and they agreed to have UPS pick them up. They also said the tips should fit the C2. I guess I should have read this site before ordering.

Okay. Mdrums has been saying they won't fit an S. Which is obvious from their website. But I don't have an S. But now Harvey says they don't fit the Carrera either. That's bizarre. What in the world do they fit??? I think I'll pass on these.

I said they do not fit either model and was corrected...but I knew better...and now there is further proof.

Schnell 997 C2 muffler tips Update
From my post in December:
I received the last pair from Vertexauto last week for my C2. The quality seemed very good. However, they did not fit. The original exhaust pipe on my C2 was much smaller that the pipe on the muffler tips. The tips came with two inserts; however, this still did not take up the difference in spacing between the two pipes. I called them and they agreed to have UPS pick them up. They also said the tips should fit the C2. I guess I should have read this site before ordering.
Now....I reordered the tips after Vertex Auto measured the diameters from a new shipment of tips from Schnell. They now fit my C2 as the new tips have THREE inserts to take up the spacing. The first tips that were sent in December only had two spacers.
I had the tips coated with a thermal coating in flat black. Also, I suggest having a nut spot welded on the upper bracket just like the original tips. It makes it a lot easier to tighten the bolt. A muffler shop welded the nut on for free.
I'm now a very happy camper.
