Nick C Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 hi, I'm always looking online at all things porsche and I'm wondering about the x pipe fittings, I have had the exhaust mod done at revolution and want to know if these are pure cosmetic or do they actuality change the exhaust tone at all, can't find much about them online. Thanks 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Not X, but I changed from the standard Porsche Y fitting to the Porsche Cayman R pi-fitting (not sure how to find that symbol) - I didn't notice any change in tone at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Thanks, just wondering about them, they say the soul performance and fabspeed ones make a difference but I'm not paying those prices for just the tail pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I struggle to believe that any tailpipe change makes much difference, in sound or back pressure TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Only going on what I have read online, something about the gasses escaping more freely than with the standard pipe makes a difference, just wanted to see if anyone on here had any experience with them.

Lonewolfgjp Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I had one on my 987.1 S as part of the cat back valved exhaust. It sounded awesome but it was a cat back and secondary cat delete. Im looking at the tailpipes myself and I think I will go the same as mneil, if you find his thread it shows you what he had done 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_R Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Gert @ Carnewal mentioned to me that aftermarket tailpipes on the whole do restrict flow / mess with back pressure. Want to change the ovals on my S to round tail pipes as I think they look loads better. Might just try fitting the cosmetic rounds to my current tailpipes if they can be removed / swapped?

Interesting, I'd read that the factory tail pipe are not as free flowing as the fabspeed (for example) tail pipes due to the design. They are very expensive if it's just cosmetic.

Thanks 👍 I kept the original back boxes, no drone as there is a balance pipe linking them just above the tail pipes which you can't see in the photo. Tail pipes are now 110mm black chrome.

Tail pipes are now 110mm black chrome. Someone made you the tailpipe and welded to the original exhaust then you've fitted the new tailpipes to that?? Aren't the tailpipes normally connected?? Sorry I just noticed yours isn't a 987s is it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mneil Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 PS the tail pipes on the 987 are the same as the 981, cheap and cheerful do spring to mind with added Porsche tax😃. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
