    Are those original Porsche exhaust kit or...?

    I was looking to some Turbo photos over the Internet and I found this white Turbo with the great set of exhausts.. Are those original Porsche exhausts or some other firm's kits?

    I didn't see any options like that in my Turbo catalogue, so i have to ask.

    Thanks

    Those could just be the TechArt exhaust tips. Not sure if he actually has the entire exhaust system too. They sell them separately.

    Definitely TechArt tips.
    No way to tell the rest is the real McCoy.

    Those tips looking like the 996MKII Carrera stainless Tips.

    They are the techart ones, I have them in my car as well. They look good, still undecided on whether I prefer those or the straight double tips. I like both

    These are similar and I'm sorry..., but..., kinda embarassing. The things are totally _ornamental_.

    Like when we were kids in HS going to auto stores to find junk to attach to our cars to make them cooler.

    If I see a guy or a friend of mine with something like these, don't worry I won't tell anybody.

    IOW, whatever makes you happy makes me happy; BUT I'd NEVER put them on my car (hard to explain strong un-preferences).

    Hahah! These ones in the picture actually do look ridiculous! The techart ones look a lot like the tequipment ones from 996tt and some people like them some don't!
    However reading posts here keeps amazing me in how different peoples's opinions/tastes are all around the wor7ld. White\yellow\red are considered a definite "no-go" (to be polite..) in certain parts of the world while they might be the coolest look at some other countries. So don't be so absolute in your criticisms, it is not wise within such an international crowd!

    Yes, quite right.

    Lemme put it this way. If my kid brother wanted to jazz up his car (spinners on wheels, fuzzy dice, black velvet interior) I'd think he was nutz. But THAT's what he likes, and I'm glad he's happy.

    There's no reason I can't think it looks like sh*t, though.

    If he wants to discuss what _I_ think I'd say, "It would look like sh*t on my car, but because YOU like it it looks good on yours."

    That said: something about jazzing up a Porsche with nonfunctional glittery stuff bothers me bigtime. Sorry.

    Must admit, I'm not a big fan of lots of bling on cars such as ours, but the stock tips just don't cut it for me. I'm looking for some suitable replacement.
