Here's a pic of my rocket with new exhaust tips. The stock one's were really bad.. They discolor and "look like they belong on a Corvette" (quote from my wife actually.) Porsche didn't do a very good job on these...

These are Fabspeeds. They are quite light and fit perfect. 5 minute install.

I'm really happy with the way they look.

Thanks!!!!... New tires next.... They don't last too long on this beast.

What did you get?

Consider the Bridgestone RE11. Great grip, softer than other R coumpound tires, less choppy.

The RE11s as a track only set up is great.

All around tire would be Michelin Pilot Super Sport!

The RE-11's are a great tire. They stick well. Work great in the rain and are pretty quiet. Good tire for the money..

Your wife has a point but has it reversed. Round dished-out tips have been on Vettes for years. It has been a long time since Vettes had oblong tips, but never teardrop design because they never had the teardrop bumper Porsche holes. My turbo with those "vette-like" round tips fit in with all the vettes at our weekly car show. That did not look good for my turbo. Took them off and went with the new Porsche-updated chrome finish teardrop tips. Now sparkling chrome teardrop tips fit teardrop holes and I got the P-designed rear-end look of a Porsche turbo again. Goodby Vette look. And too, isn't the turbo the only series that have the teardrop exh-look, I guess excluding the GT2 which has round bumper holes for their round tips.
