I have had my big oval ss since new-going past 17 years- they still look perfect and I love the way they offset the rear!

Without a doubt, one of the sexiest upgrades on a 993. Well done!

I found these on eBay ... incorrectly identified for the 996 @ $38
Looks like they should fit all NB 993 ... not affiliated with the seller, a Mopar guy

The manufacturer part listed as JOSH9. I wonder if this is from the Corvettedude that we had a group buy years ago. The group buy went very smooth and I was happy with the product. But the second set I bought later, the diameter for the neck was too big and it was impossible to tighten them to the mufflers. I had to return them and it was not a very pleasant experience. The quality was really good though.

Anyone has a pic of these eBay tips on a car? It's vain, but I've been thinking...

Hmm, hope they fit because I ordered a set yesterday!
Probably won't get them on for a while- so unfortunately I won't be able to report back anytime soon...

What are the standard tips? I think I have the same tips on my car, but a lot of people seem to make a big deal about the Big ovals?

Just curious, because mine look exactly alike.

Sorry about that but I'm recovering from surgery.

On another note; I just received an email from the seller stating that there was a mistake and he doesn't have any of these tips in stock. WTF?!
