Those fabspeed pipes are 3.25". Probably more approriate in diameter for our cars vs the 3.5" --83 vs 90mm

Word. Keep me posted. I'm scheduled to get the mod done the week after next and would like to do this at the same time.

Cheers,

Just a heads up guys the Fabspeed catback isnt gonna be that much more expensive than an OEM mod with the cost of tips. And IMO the Fabspeed muffler cans are the best looking for our car as they are light and very well hidden. Of all the exhausts Ive owned Fabspeed has the best looking tips especially with a diffuser. The Akra tips look to fake, the Dinan tips are fixed and too thin, the RPI tips are too big, the OEM black edition tips are too small...I'm picky and you get the picture!

I agree with you on the exhaust tips. I always liked the Eisenmann LeMans the best, I had no idea that the Fabspeed ones had a similar design. These two I find suit the car the best. I'm hoping the set of tips will be $400 or less. The akrapovic ones are $1400 for the set of 4 which is silly IMO.

Just waiting on Fabspeed to see what can be done. I'll PM you guys when I get a response, a couple others are waiting as well.

They couldn't provide just the tips. I bought custom tips not meant for our cars, I just had a fabricator cut them to the correct length and weld them in place.

Was your guy able to fabricate tips that look very similar to the fabspeed..? and what did it run you cost wise.

Where did you get the OEM exhaust mod done? A local exhaust shop should be able to get you some custom tips to your liking.

Just buy any tips you want with a minimum 7.5" length and 2.75" inlet. You just cut and weld the tips how you want em. Doesn't take too long.
