Looks nice though IIRC Stef @ Europipe has stated that changing from the standard oval tips will INCREASE drone with his exhausts...

They look nice but, can you flip them so "Soul" is on the bottom?

I know some say tips change the sound and some say they don’t. But looks aside maybe just the tips could add a little sound to OEM exhaust. Maybe SOUL knows for sure?

Not OEM, but in my experience, changing the OEM tips to Kline Tips on their exhaust system made a noticeable and welcomed sound difference. Switching that to SpeedArt tips made the sound more subdued. Now with the TechArt tips, the sound is subdued but not as muffled as the SpeedArt one. So I am from the camp of tips do effect sounds.

Can you post a photo from a little farther back of the whole rear of the car?

It’s definitely a little different in sound from the outside but absolutely no drone from the inside. These are 3.75 inches in diameter,so they do act as a horn.

No you can’t flip them, different cut angle. Soul etching is neat. You can call them and ask or you can grind it off.

Man, that really looks sharp!
Did you do the mesh inserts yourself? It looks amazing, well done.

Kudos to you and I agree with TT Surgeon; the mesh grill insert is the cherry on top! May I ask how difficult it was to fabricate?

I have an email in to Soul asking it they can make this tip available for my 997.2 TT with a Europipe. Would also prefer a logo delete option and possibly a chrome finish.

Would these tips fit on a KLINE exhaust?

These should fit any 997tt exhaust that accepts stock tips. Nice to have options.
