Buyer beware: this will not fit the newer 981's. The tips sit 3 inches lower than they should on the newer models.
Fabspeed's advice: force it to fit!!??
I can't speak to other buyer's experiences, but this has been a nightmare for me. I've incurred a huge $900 bill from my dealership for trying to install the Supercup. The tech working on my car said he would not try to make this system fit as it may damage other parts of my vehicle over time.
Below is a picture of the fitting. It would not budge and hangs way too low.

Justin,
Did you order this system direct from Fabspeed or through a dealer?
Shine Auto Salon does in house aftermarket performance modifications/builds and we have not yet ran into any fitment issues with Fabspeed.
I am unsure of the actions that have been taken so far, but I would recommend contacting Fabspeed directly, as they will most certainly be able to help! Per Fabspeed..."The few inquires I had turned out to be install errors which were able to be corrected. When hanging a duel outlet exhaust system, there are multiple points of contact that can be adjusted so that the system sits level. With a single outlet system - such as the OEM 986 exhaust, installation is much more straight forward since the outlet tip is alone and does not have to mirror an additional outlet, no matter what the tip will look symmetrical since it stands alone....in order to be completely level, it does take some time and patients to make sure the system sits evenly."
From one car guy to another, I understand the frustration when an install creates a headache and for that I sympathize with you.
Sorry to rant on your thread. I initially had my tech at Porsche on the phone with one of Fabspeed's tech's, but they weren't able to solve the alignment issue. I am happy to report that my situation with Fabspeed has been escalated and it looks like they'll be sending me a replacement part hopefully with the right fitting.

No worries bro.
I 100% understand the frustration when dealing with those unknowns & inevitable speed bumps when doing any install. Super stoked that Fabspeed is doing their part and making it right. Definitely keep us posted on how the new system works out!
Again let us know if there is anything we can ever do to help!
