Default Installed new Big oval Tips today (pics)
I just received the large oval tips I ordered from Maxspeed (ebay) and had to install...the sound is better ( megaphone effect) with the RSR's and I like them...still have some straighting to do, as I guessed a little off.

Nice job!

I have a set of Porsche (OEM) Chrome exhaust tips that are just fab.
Only trouble is - even after I soaked the nut(s) with PB-Blaster (sp?) they wouldn't budge a friggin' inch! So ...until further notice ...I'm kinda stuck with my 'sandpapered' steely ones.

Any advice on getting those nut(s) to shift?

Randy,

Those ovals look great! Are they as big as the OEM set? I like them, I like your rims, I like the color of your 993... I just love your ride!!

Thanks Tony...they are 4 1/2" across and seem as big as the original Porsche one's, but at a fraction of the cost. My nuts came right off ( sounds like a personal problem)

Randy,
Looks sharp! The factory big ovals on my 993 are one of my favorite features. I have the PO to thank for that investment

Yep, destroying the bolts is the only way. Either slice through the bolt with a hack saw or use a dremel tool with a cutting disc.
