Default Tips on 997.1S Muffler Tips

I am looking to replace my stock muffler tips and leaning toward the Fabspeed X50 style tips.

I have a 2006 C2S with the X51 kit and an Agency Power exhaust. I'm now using the original factory clamp on S (non PSE) tips, and am looking for another clamp on option in chrome or titanium.

Suggestions?

Do Turbo tips fit the S?

Default Stainless Tips

I have an 08 997 C2S and replaced them with Fabspeed quad tips. They fit perfect and look great. They make the OEM tips look like crap. they are expensive at $600, but well with it. Good Luch

I think they are different sizes. The Fabspeed X-50 bolt on tip has been an impossibly popular add on that really fits the rear bumper cut outs perfectly and brings together the rear of the car

Thanks swporsche and Evan.

Lance-AR: I also understand the Turbo tips don't fit, as Evan said.

These Techarts have always been my favorite (but ~$800 for tail pipes, you really have to like them for that much money).

People ask me what it's been like to maintain a 911 over the past 5 months. The only thing I can say is that parts prices and labor seems about the same as any other brand, maybe a bit higher for parts.

But exhaust tip prices are just ****ing ridiculous.

The Vorsteiner rear bumper on my wife's car extends further than the OEM bumpers and I wanted the tips to come to the back for the exhaust to clear the bumper. Found these SS tips on eBay that were the perfect length and width, cut slots around the mounting collar and clamped them on instead of welding, but if you have a stock bumper, these probably extend too far. Anyway, point being as long as you know the dimensions you need to clamp to the tailpipe, the width and lenght, there are lots of options.

I do think the Fabspeed tips are some of the nicest.
