I think what B Choi is saying is that the exhaust cutout on the narrow body and wide body cars is slightly different. The narrow body cutout is more round, and the narrow body is more oval, so the tips seem to follow the contour of the cutout better, in his opinion. I see what he is saying, and its slight...I like them either way.

whether narrow or wide, fellas... it needs to sit tight against the bodywork to look right. since the stock tips are made for the widebodies, you need a customize it like newport, but that's extra effort which peeps haven't been doing.
for me, little things add up to a lot.

Maybe you should call the dealer and ask how much the large single exhaust tips run.....lol....$500 is a DEAL for Porsche tips....$200 is a STEAL....Porsche tips from techart or Ruf or Gembella can be like $1000!!!!

I agree with Ben. To each their own (except spinners! NO SPINNERS!) 
I think that on a narrow body, all stock, the ovals look right. With a wide body, or spoilers/lowering/aeros and other "go fast" looking mods the turbo tips look good.
For mine though, it looks classy stock and looks kinda "poseurish" to put on the dual tips. Never seen it in person though. Sometimes that makes all the difference...
