Smile WTT: Trade inner tips off 997.2 PSE - My GTS for your "standard."

Category: Engine - Exhaust

Item Condition: Used

Hello,

I have a 997.2 Carrera GTS. It has the special PSE exhaust tips, with the polished inner tips, with the black "shrouds."

The standard 997.2 PSE tips have the reverse, in terms of colors, with black inner tips and silver shrouds.

I'd like to TRADE my polished inner tips with your black inner tips. We each keep our respective shrouds. What I'd end up with is black inner tips with black shrouds, and you would get polished inner tips with silver shrouds.

If you've never removed your PSE tips, it's super easy to do. Just one bolt per side. The shrouds are then removed by loosening one additional bolt, each. It takes maybe five minutes to take off both sides, and to remove the two shrouds.

I'm located in Orange County, CA. We can either meet up and I'll do the swap, if you're local. Or else you can ship your inner tips to me, and I'll do the swap and send you my polished inner tips.

Please let me know! I think both sets would end up looking pretty cool.



(The GTS PSE tips are shown here on the right; the standard PSE tips are shown on the left. Not my photo; borrowed from here. Thx.)

Here's a quick Pshop rendering to show what you would end up with. Looks pretty cool!

I would also be open to buying a set of "standard" PSE tips.

Thanks!

Do you need the actual part or are you just looking for the monochromatic black look? I've seen your posts here and it seems you haven't had any bites in a while so I thought I'd help out. I can PM you instructions on how to economically paint the inner pipe for the monochrome look if that's just what you're going for. LMK.

I had the tips ceramic coated "black" by Darin at Fister on my 997.2 C2S. Very nice quality, but it's really a matte gray. I want true black for my GTS's tips. Can't find any place that can deliver a true black, so far. I also don't want to be without my car for a week. Thanks for the offer to help, though. And I definitely don't want to spray them with the rattle can high-heat stuff. Tried that before; looked okay, but less than ideal, IMO.

***** I'm confident there's a PSE owner out there that would prefer the polished + silver look, over the black and silver setup. I'm patient. ;-)
