highway Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I’ll leave this hanging till after Xmas and the end of tier 11, or whatever we are up to them. Assuming we haven’t entered a zombie apocalypse, I’ll call some dealers and see if any of them want the business. I’m going to aim for £1800 for each one, fitted. If they have fitted at that sort of level to sell a used car then it must be doable. If we get 5 cars to the nominated opc one wet Wednesday afternoon in February It would give them something to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIkeyv60 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Indie definitely cheaper as labour over £100 an hour cheaper to start with. The old back boxes do sell . I sold my 718 ones to a guy who was repairing an accident damaged rear ended car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I have an update. In a stroke of good fortune, my car was Specced with sports tail pipes from new. This is required for PSE thus reduces the cost. ive got an OPC who will do a car with sports tail pipes at £1850 fitted. Looks like without maybe closer to £2200. I’m hoping to get that second price lower. Those who are interested, I need your chassis number. That way OPC parts will price exactly against your car. Booking from early Feb. PM me your name, chassis number and mobile if you want me to advance this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham964 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hi How do I work out if the tips on my car are sports tail pipes? The ones on my car are black chrome and 87mm outer diameter which look quite large. Cheers and happy christmas everyone Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEAN COLLINS Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi, Do you have a post code for the OPC where this will be fitted. I am really up for this but live in Leicester. My car already has the sports tail tips fitted too. Graham your tips are the sports ones i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham964 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Thanks Sean. Do you know what the difference is between standard twin outlet pipes on an S and the sports twin outlet pipes? As it an option? cheers Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robporsche Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 interested in this also, one thing i regretted is buying one without the PSE. for the price is that the button on the centre console etc? im essex based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I have a chassis number from Graham. I need chassis numbers from others if you want to proceed. I don’t want to post the details of the OPC on this thread but they are close to London. Price will include Porsche warranty and the correct button in OEM fitment next to the gearshift.

bandit_287 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Do all 981’s come fitted with the Sport button as standard? If not I’d recommend having that fitted too as it really opens the PSE up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hopefully contacting me straightforward. It’s just Graham and I so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEAN COLLINS Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Highway, Just tried to message you but says Highway can't receive messages So here is my chassis no WP0ZZZ98ZDK123436 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham964 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I have done a bit of research on exhaust tips and I have found the following part numbers which are 981 111 961 02 for use with sports exhaust systems and 981 111 361 00 for use with non PSE systems. The schematics seem identical see the following link https://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/oem-parts/porsche-tail-pipe-98111136100?c=bT0xJmw9NSZuPVJlY29tbWVuZGVkIFByb2R1Y3RzJms9MQ%3D%3D I guess a call to an OPC is required for clarification on what the differences are unless somebody can let me know on here. happy new year everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Sorry my PM inbox was full. Now resolved. I’ll message the OpC chassis numbers for mine, Sean’s and Graham’s cars new week to get the lowest price achievable. I’ll PM you both with prices when received. Anyone else interested please PM me it’s working now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Option code for sports tailpipe was XLS. Option for PSE is XLF. According to price list I have XLF was only in conjunction with XLS. In other words if you were speccing PSE (£1530 as factory ordered option) you HAD to order sports tailpipes as well. Shown as £365 when new.

graham964 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Maybe they had a lot of XLS PSE tail pipes and decided to fit them to non PSE cars when they were in production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham964 Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I just found this link which asked the same question as me regarding what is the difference between the standard twin pipe tips and sport tips and I think my interpretation would be they are a slightly different shape and thats about it. i woulsd also conclude you can have the PSE with the standard twin pipe outlet found on an S as it will not have much impact if any. I suppose it may come down to the OPC as it is important that they agree it is fine to do as my car has 2 years of warranty on it. https://www.planet-9.com/threads/sport-tailpipes-vs-normal-cs-tailpipes.85961/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
