Super nice. Do they fit on the standard TT mufflers?

yes, straight fit. took a little WD40 to loosen up the OEM tips but the fabspeed are a straight plug and play. I set the clamps to line up with where the oem tips were set and the fabspeed still stick out about a full inch further. much more aggressive looking IMO

next will be to do a full exhaust next year but the tips will keep me happy until then!

call them directly, they provide 5% discount to 6speedonline members. $600 for the set

the black chrome is not something that can be fully appreciated in photos, in person they have a violet/blueish hue at certain angles in direct sunlight. It is still chrome so it has a nice polish but not blingy.

also fills out the stock exhaust openings on the 997.1 turbos nicely compared to OEM. huge improvement over stock tips IMO

Tips look really nice, and I like how they protrude a bit more.

Would like your report on how well they resist blackening and pitting compared to the OEM.

And how easy to clean up every 5K miles or so.
