Exhaust Pipe: Description and Operation

Tailpipe Covers







The rear apron of the new 911 Turbo was completed redesigned. In addition to modified side outlet openings for the outgoing air of the charge air coolers, the new 911 Turbo is also equipped with integrated exhaust tailpipes. The tailpipes were relocated to a higher position compared with the 911 Turbo (996), and are integrated in the rear apron of the new 911 Turbo as a distinguishing feature and characteristic design element - analogous to the Carrera GT. In order to protect the rear apron against the high temperatures of the exhaust tailpipes, a shield made of high-temperature-resistant plastic capable of withstanding temperatures up to 536 °F (280 °C) is installed in the area surrounding the tailpipe.
