Default 993 Turbo S Tailpipes

I'm thinking about upgrading the Exhaust tips on my 98 C2S.
I really like the look of the Turbo S quad exhaust.

Suncoast sells the OEM Turbo S Twin tailpipes.
My question is,... are there major modifications neccessary to upgrade?
Has anyone installed the Turbo S tailpipes on there non turbo cars?

Have you ever seen the TTS pipes in person? I prefer standard 993 wide ovals, personally.

+1. Wide ovals all the way.

If you're hell bent on doing it, any muffler shop can fit them on your car, but it's not worth it IMO.

I thought one oval was larger than the other on the dual tips on a TTS?

Also, didn't Porsche make three different wide oval tips-NB, WB, and TT?

WB tips need the offset, NB's don't, and the exhaust on the TT made them different IIRC. Don't believe that a TTS tip will bolt up to a WB.

Put me in wide oval camp also, don't care for the twin tips.

The offset will be correct on a NB, though the tips won't sit in the correct position. I can quite remember which way but I think they will stick out too far from the bumper. Someone else please confirm....

Even if I had a TTS, I think I'd switch to the wide ovals.

These are NOT an easy (or reversible) fit.

The will require you to cut the outlet of the muffler off completely.

Hover any shop could do it for a price....

impossible to do !
The turbo mufflers outlet pipe with the exhaust can installed , is the upper pipe
The NA muffler outlet pipe is the bottom pipe.
The Turbo S twin tip is bent and installs on the upper turbo outlet pipe.
On your car, the bottom outlet is exhaust, and the tip should be a straight line.
FVD does a replica with twin out tips. expensive and not plug and play

It seems as if this might be an issue..Some members saying that it can't be done, some are saying it can, with mods...

Anyone have a link to the Tech Bull mentioned?

Yes, George is spot on, these Genuine Porsche turbo s tips are for turbo cars only!

The Tech bull is for fitting on turbo cars only

They wont work on a n/a car!

If you like the twin pipe look make your own;

Personally, what makes the 993 exhaust look good are the wide oval tips with the angled profile and I am not a fan of those puny looking twin tail pipes.

I take it you had to cut the PU a bit?
