Jason,

I have the same big ovals that you do and I have the motor sound package. If these are X54 option tips, are they or are they not related to the "motor sound package" I thought that they were. Perhaps now I'm to understand that they are a seperate option??

My car came from the factory w/the full Motorsound option (M159) as shown on my trunk label. Viken is (as usual) correct in his photo of the MS tip. It is stainless, not chrome & is NOT a big or indeed any size oval but rather a rounded edge rectangle w/heat shield. Mine are for sale as soon as I polish them up, if anyone is interested.

Midnight C4S,
I also have both the Motorsound package (159) and the chrome tips (X54) and according to the option sticker on my car, it was a separate option. I believe the ones that Viken posted were the regular tips included in the Motorsound package. Thanks.

JPL,

Here is a good shot of the oval tips. My car has the motorsound package. I'd have to check if there is a seperate option code for them.

I too have the optional OEM (X54) Motor Sound Chrome Tips. The standard Motorsound tips are those shown by Viken.

My Stock (rectangular) SS OEM 993 C2 Tips are Available if interested.

Here's another data point - my car has oval tips AND motorsound, just like Jason's.

My C4S was optioned with motorsound and came with the same shiny tips Viken showed. I added big ovals. If you have big ovals on your car, I bet they either appear on your options tag as a separate item or were added by a previous owner or dealer.

I've attached a couple of pictures of my stock C2 Cab Motorsound tips. They are most definitely stainless, as when polishing the rag turns black. Chrome doesn't do that.

I'm confused. What is the difference between non motor sound tips and motor sound tips, just the finish and not the shape? I believe the big ovals are a seperate option not related to the motor sound option.

Joe S. You are correct, motorsound tips are just shiny, not different shape. Big ovals are not related to motor sound, and are expensive but beautiful and fit the 993 exhaust cutouts perfectly.

Thanks for ending my confusion John! Yes, the big ovals look the best.

They are not - standard Motorsound tips (see pic in post #17 above).
