LOL, it would be impossible for Porsche to prove an exhaust tip would cause an issue (because it wouldn't), especially with it being behind the mufflers and not really part of controlling air/fuel or back pressure. This is more of a "I don't don't get to charge you mark up on the parts and only get to gouge you on labor" response. I fully believe in using the dealer for service in most cases, but an answer like his defies common sense.

@2018Cayman : Installed on Saturday, and they look perfect -- at least in the rain! (We've had torrential storms in Dallas since last week ... and it's gonna last through this week, too. Ugh.)
I've only had time (and dryness) to snap this quick shot at the installer, which took some extra time to align everything perfectly. Quality is high, particularly in the X-pipe. The only small blemish is a patch of inconsistent coating inside each tip in one spot, which will summarily be covered by carbon buildup in a couple of weeks anyway.

The matte black tips are ceramic coated, which apparently will last at least a year to reject water spots, stains, etc. I suspect the tips only can be replaced a few years down the road if need be. We'll see how they last.

The matte black tip looks great. How long did it take your installer to complete the job? Mine was right at one hour.@2018Cayman : Installed on Saturday, and they look perfect -- at least in the rain!
