Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ordered the PSE for my 2003 996 and thought it was coming with quad tips. Wrong. Dealer says they are 700+/- but will cut a deal at around 500. Apparently for the 2003 model year they are sold seperate and are much more expensive than for a 997. Wondering if my stock oval tips will fit the PSE and also if anyone knows of a cheaper way to get the nice quad tips usually seen with the PSE. Don't want to install the exhaust to find out the oem tips don't fit it and haven't taken them off either to see if they will go on the new PSE that's still sitting in a box. Anyone with experience in this area?

POST 2Original post

Yes stock oval tips do fit. It'll give the car a stealth look with sound to enjoy. The tips are always sold separately. Dansk has one that has the look at less price but it's not that much lower than 500. I don't like the dual ring tip since it's very fake and you can even see the exhaust pipe. Plus the carbon built up between the rings make it look more like 1 ring anyways.

POST 3Original post

I love the Porshe quad tips and think they are a nice touch on stock or pse exhaust. Brandywine sells them for a very good price. I think they were under 500 for the pair.

POST 4Original post

Why put a fake quad-tip on a dual exit?? I mean if the exhaust exit actually broke into 4 pipes that woul dbe one thing, but that's not even the case? Go custom and make it a true quad tip!

POST 5Original post

I am not aware of the PSE kit coming with any tips, quad or otherwise. Some third party exhaust systems do come with tips at extra cost. The only PSE installations I have seen were all completed with the car's original tips.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Going to just put the stock tips back on after the exhaust goes in next Wednesday. May revisit the quad idea at a later date. Thanks for the input, especially djantlive, on how the oem ovals do fit the pse. Thanks all.

POST 7Original post

A good exhaust shop will be able to make you whatever you want for far less than the Porsche tips....Here are mine...its was under $400 out the door including tax and labor.

POST 8Original post

What did they do? Cut apart a 2nd tip, cut it, and weld it back on?

POST 9Original post

The quad tips look pretty fake from behind. I had wide ovals on my 993 with RSRs. I liked that set up! Go with stock first. The sound will make you forget about your cd collection! Steve

POST 10Original post

I bought the TEQUIPMENT LARGE OVALS and love em. (see pic) Have to agree with most that the pseudo quad tips just don't look right. But the itty bitty standard ones look too small. Large ovals? Just right

POST 11Original post

Anyone have a high angle pic of the larger ovals? -Keith

POST 13Original post

Higher up in the rear, to where you can see down onto the tips...IE where everyone sees your exhaust...

POST 15Original post

I had a muffler shop make my fart can out of a folger's tin. I think it Warholesque.

POST 16Original post

Yes better, i guess im just having a hard time seeing the difference! -Keith

POST 17Original post

I can post a pic of the original tips as well. There is a HUGE difference.

POST 19Original post

KEWL! I never had factory tips so i was blind to the improvement! -Keith

POST 20Original post
