Hi - Has anyone had a decent look or fitted a pair of these?

https://www.topgear.co.uk/porsche-911-997-2-carrera-carbon-tailpipes?search=porsche 997

I'm seriously considering changing my pse boxes as they are failing and using TG valvetronic's boxes, which will need a pair of std style tail pipes.

I have black ones fitted and would want to stay black, so that means sourcing some in black or getting a pair ceramic coated. Black ones are available from the likes of D911 and TG do these CF ones. However I have no idea of their quality or how durable they would be.

So all experience on this product is welcomed.

Thanks

Matt
 
Matt, I have seen them in the flesh, when I was down at Topgear in Bridport, Quality looked very good . you should head down this way for a weekend have a curry on fri night and pop down to Bridport on the sat or Bridport first then stop off on the way back for a curry . :thumb:eek:r if you want to be billy no mates :grin: buy a set have a look and return them if you dont like them :grin:

Thanks Big man!! I was on our group yesterday, moaning that you are never around any more to answer such questions!! Where are you? Been trapped by a 'hairy noose'? :hand:
 
Fairly sure they are the ones I had on my old car. Can't recall the brand but the price and look match up. They were very good, fitted easy and I liked the look

Here are some pics

Oooh they do look nice 👍
 
I fitted a full Top Gear system fitted last September and opted for the carbon fibre tail pipes. Quality appears very good and they look the part imho.
