Lightbulb Round NOT oval tips???

I did several thread searches, but couldn't find any information on Round tips. I know the turbo S had dual round tips but wanted to see large singles. Does anyone have these? I do like the large ovals, but really wanted to see a round version.

Better looking than the single round tips me thinks

IMO, an oval tip is the best fit for an oviform exhaust cutout.

The factory (or replica) Big Ovals do this job perfectly.

I had Supercups on the car prior, and grew accustomed to the look. The oviform cutout is really a function of the curvature of the rear facia. Including a photo of the cups. I was thinking of a more retro look. Maybe something in black as well?

Won't fit the 993 unless you cut the bumper, at least not on nb cars
Agree they are better looking than the single round tips though

Wont fit any 993, too wide for the cutout in the bumper, the rear can be modified easily enough to fit 993 muffler. Ask me how I know...........
