They're not stock! They're larger OEM tips from Europipe. You can't see properly at the mo but they're a little bit bigger than stock and I'm not sure anyone makes after market tips that fit the Europipe race exhaust as its pipes are 3 inches/ 76mm. If anyone knows of larger twin tips that will fit I'd love to hear about them.

I wouldn't bother Carl. The gen 2 OEM tips look brill. In fact I wouldn't mess with a gen 2 car at all. Gen 2s are quick enough out of the box. TBH gen 1 cars are quick enough out of the box but I think I'm possessed

Congrats, I know you were thinking about it for a while. Not sure if I missed it but will you be changing the brakes?

Did about 100 laps at Bedford Autodrome today and the brakes were absolutely fine. Just need to cool them down every 10 to 20 laps. I do like the looks of the Surface Transform ceramics JZM are agents for at the mo and maybe when these brakes are shot I will upgrade. They still have at least 10000 + miles in them IMO and I've always found Porsche steel brakes brill.

No not really just brake in a straight line, get all your gear changing etc done well before a corner too and always do a cool down lap. If I start feeling more peddle travel I just pop into the pits for 20 mins as it means brake fluid getting hot.

The steel brakes a 997 turbo comes with as standard are very good indeed and are fine on track as long as you manage the heat cycles. Always found Porsche brakes best in the business. I am intrigued by Ceramics now though. Tried a 991 turbo S and its brakes were the best i've ever used - just amazing.

Good to hear and that you can make yours last that long. I'm not a huge fan of the steels but they are improving with every gen. I see you car sometimes will say hi next time, if I can catch you;)
