Default I Need Exhaust Tips

Im taking my PSE off my GTS and putting on a FVD race exhaust. PSE tips will not work with this FVD exhaust.

If anyone has some exhaust tips sitting around please let me know. I don't care about there condition of looks as I will be painting or ceramic coating them.

I've been looking at general aftermarket tips ad might have found some that might fit fr not a lot of money.

I looked at Fabspeed and AWE tips but I can't bring my self to pay $500 for something as simple as exhaust tips!

I may change the tips on my 09 C4S after I see what discounts are offered this weekend for Black Friday. So far, 20% from AWE. Waiting to see what Suncoast does.

Clean it and box it up and store it. Might sell the Sharkwerks cross over section.

I'm also thinking of these tips...seems like they'd fit right into the bumped cut out?

thanks,
Alex I can't bring myself to pay $400+ on tips... Do you have any used or scratched tips laying around for a lot less? If they are scratched that is ok because I'm painting them black anyway.

Rick,

Just "bite the bullet" and get PSE. I installed the Sharkwerks center muffler replacement pipes 1 week after I got the car and PSE 5 weeks later. I know it's not cheap, but if I could do only one mod to my 2010 C2S it would be to the exhaust system..... PSE and Sharkwerks center muffler replacement. PSE from Suncoast is $2,592.

For comparison purposes, the 997.1 PSE is now $3,050 at Suncoast. Prior to the 997.2 release, the 997.1 PSE was something like $2,400-ish (I don't recall the exact price). With the 991 on its way, I am certain that the 997.2 PSE prices will increase over the next year or so. It won't get any cheaper than the current price.

Ask "Santa" for PSE!

Default FYI

I had a 997.1 w PSE from factory. When I switched to 997.2, it was too quiet without. I tried THE GUNDO first, about two weeks ago, its great. Sounds just like PSE.

Rick if PSE is too much money to spend, I certainly understand. I'd never ever buy PSE...it just came stock on my GTS.

PSE sounds good but it is extremely heavy. If you are just looking for better sound I highly suggest the Sharkwerks center by pass pipes...or find a Tubi set of mufflers or Fabspeed set of mufflers.....those 2 sound great and the Tubi has zero drone cruising and the Fabspeed is just a little louder. Both make great street systems. The Tubi is more raspy and a little higher pitched and a Fabspeed seems to accent the mid range of the sound and has more of a Cup car wail type of sound about 4k rpms.

I'm seriously not a big fan of PSE.
