got my x54 tips but noticed they're bent?

[auclutch]

First off, I don't know if these are x54 because I bought them used and they don't say porsche on them. Next, I noticed they were bent in the rear. I'm assuming this is how they come right? I haven't taken off my old ones yet but I'm hoping they are the same. Either way, if this is indeed how they are supposed to be, it's like putting a bottleneck on your exhaust system because the bend restricts the airflow (changes the flow pattern) so much it's sick. If indeed the tips are not supposed to be like this then I need to hurry and contact the seller so I can return them. Anybody know if this is what they're supposed to look like? Or did I end up buying a piece of ... imitation that's all banged up?

THANKS!

I just put a set on MY2003. The tips that I purchased from Porsche look similiar to yours. I was wondering about bent pipe myself.

so yours came with the bent pipes as well?

By the way, I found out in this thread:

that mine is the correct one for my car (c2) but now I need to know if they're supposed to have the bent pipes or not.

Yes, mine are bent too! I purchsed Techequipment exhaust tips directly from the Porsche dealer.

These tips all have a dent like that.

Probably to clear the pipe to the muffler.
