Hi,

Can anyone advise if they know whether the exhaust tips on the 997.1 Carrera can be changed over to those of the sport ?

Many thanks in advance

not sure this helps but I have just removed a pair of porsche genuine sports tailpipes (2 x 2 type) from my 991 and replaced with a full sports exhaust - so the originals are in a box waiting for a new home. Good condition, photos available. Not sure they'll fit a 997 - might do - let me know if you want them.

just looked at some 997 tips on design911 and they look just the same as the 991's - if you've got diameter/dimensions I can look for you.

Hi, just checked and it’s close to 16cm (one pipe though, doesn’t the 991 have 2 pipes each side?)

If you want to fit the original dual exhaust tips from a 997.1 "S" to a "non-S" car, you need an adapter.
I did just that. I ordered them from FVD Brombacher, but they are ridiculously expensive.

Worked really nice!

Thanks for the advice. Is this because the diameter of the exhaust on the non sport is too small?
Nice car btw 👍
