    Ordering 987S: Question

    I've decided to order a 987S.

    Does anybody know anything about the stainless steel tailpipe chrome-plated option for $340?

    Is it a dual tailpipe or just a big single tailpipe in chrome? I like the look of chrome tips but want to make sure it is a double or dual tailpipe (versus single tailpipe of 987). Pictures would be awesome if anyone has a vehicle with this option.

    Please don't order this. It is still not available. I orderd it whit my car in March and it led to a 5 weeks delay in delivery due to the missing part

    Re: Ordering 987S: Question

    I don't think anyone has it yet. I've been trying to order it via Tequipment for the past few months but it's still not available. I've seen a picture of it in the Tequipment catalogue and it looks like the standard Boxster S tailpipes (dual pipe) but with a more polished chrome finish.

    My dealer's demo S has the chrome tailpipe, very nice indeed. It's definitely a must have item.

    The tailpipe looks to be easily removable as it is held on by a clamp. I am thinking of taking it off and having it chromed locally.

    Re: Ordering 987S: Question

    The Tequipment catalog shows a pipe identical to the 987S pipe, but with a chrome finish.

    I have suspected that my car's delay was due to this item not being available. Thanks for confirming that the part is the problem TRK. My April build car was finally given an estimated completion date of 5/30! What was your situation?

    I have this on order, part XLA, and this has delayed production by a month. Should be completed mid week 19.
    They stopped taking orders for this about 2 months ago due to supply problems.

    I just put one on back order but I was quoted over $500 ($516? $569?) not including install. That was from parts which told me was 10% cheaper than sales.

    I expect it to be available for pick up in Zuffenhausen (i ordered factory delivery) by may, 22th (not confirmed yet).
    I just spent a long saturday with the dealers 987s and I can't wait till mine arrives (especially since my 986 was sold in march!).

    Re: Ordering 987S: Question

    Thanks for the pics of the exhaust.
    First time I've seen the chromed version. I'm very happy that I ordered it now.
    The parking sensors look very neat too.
    Hope you get to drive it soon.
