I'm kind of a "Keep things simple" type of guy. I made these out of stainless steel and polished them. Car is an '09 C2S with the Sharkwerks center muffler by-pass

I'll be clear - I'm looking for complete cosmetics. So that when I walk up to the car in the parking lot I say "Cool!" and not "Who stuck a Camaro exhaust on my 911?"

Sorry if I was not clear. My message was "I don't like stock. I'm considering aftermarket. Can you suggest any? Are they all $900+?" I welcome all discussion, but am not here to debate whether or not its a good idea. I realize there is no functional value - neither are the aftermarket wheels I'm buying.

+1 I'm with you. You never know what you'll learn.

Besides, there's plenty of room. It's not like there are fifty guys here all talking at the same time.

Looks very interesting. I don't like frilly stuff either. Always wondered why there aren't some "BUMPER PLUGS" or other trim pieces available to round out the oval exhaust cut out openings in the bumper.

Do you have a street level view. This view on the lift you show might be a bit distracting.

I'll take a picture and post it. From street level you don't see the size of the openings just the pipes sticking out. The poster that called them Camero pipes would probably not like the single pipe on my Cayman either but then the Porsche 550 spyder had but one stinger pipe ... that's why we are all different.

I will always like the "less is more" principle when it comes to styling a car; unfortunately that's not where the public's head is at. Fake quads were used to differentiate "S" from non-S oval tips. Oval-shaped cutouts are there to make room for "sounds-cool-does-nothing" PSE. So one might conclude PSE and quad tips are gimmicks which require the rest of us to get stuck with the odd oval cut out. Then again lots of cars are becoming gimmicky. Oh well, we'll buy and drive them anyway.

Here're some more "Cameros."
