Default Rectangular exhaust tips?

Most photos and discussions I've seen on the standard exhaust tips show the quad tips. I have a 992 in port processing in SD so I'm obviously on Track Your Dream hitting refresh 100x per day
I recently noticed the image on the site shows rectangular exhaust tips. I did not opt for PSE.



This video here comparing exhaust notes also shows the standard with these single rectangular tips.


I've found a few images of these exhaust tips but could not find a particular pattern in them. European vs US? Change between 2020 and 2021?

Quad tips on S versions in base and simple 991 with quad tips option. If you ordered just Carrera without options you will get rectangular tips. But I thing you will always can change them in tequipment…

Mario52 is correct. Base 992 with out PSE get's the rectangular tips. They are a facade, and they are replaceable but it's expensive to do so and you have to have a shop do the work because the rear bumper has to come off to do the work. Search around there is a really detailed thread on this.

I'm probably in the minority here, but put aside sound and performance, and I prefer the look of the rectangular tips over the alternatives.

I opted for standard exhaust too with rectangular tips. Personally I do not see the value in PSE at the price just for a slight increase in sound, if it gave an increase in performance maybe.

I believe the quad tips were standard until MY22, where quad tips are only on SD rear and rectangular tips otherwise.

No, that is incorrect. Mine is a ‘21 and comes with the rectangular tips as standard.

All non-S cars without PSE get the square tips. You can option the 4-pipes but hardly anyone does.

Is that true? I have a 4-pipe Cab coming. I picked a relatively common color (GTS) so would be kinda pleased if the pipes were bit of a differentiator. Though I guess all non-PSE pipes are to some degree…

Do you have a configurator code for it?

Thanks. You’ve got the sports tailpipes, that’s what gets you the quad pipe:

I don't "get" the Quad Tip treatment. It's a Boxer six engine. I can understand one tail pipe for everything, or two tail pipes, one for each bank of three cylinders. But four? It reminds me of those four cylinder front wheel drive mini vans with dual exhaust pipes. I mean . . . really now . . . . why?
