Default Best Aftermarket exhaust tips or 997 "S"

I started a thread last week about Porsche exhaust tips - optional and factory. and thanks to some informative rennlisters learned that these are basically the same product that Porsche rapes us on for a shinier finish.

So it got me thinking...what sort of aftermarket tip options there are for the 997 exhaust. I like the dual tips but not the PSE style as to me, they look like a mistake. I would prefer a dual round or dual partially oval set up that as shiny chrome maybe?-- but a bit bigger diameter than stock.

Just a subtle upgrade -- don't want the huge coffee an exhaust tips that many 16year olds run on their 88 civics..

Something that looks like a subtle improvement over stock. Don't want to change the exhaust as I really like the sound as it is.

Please post pics with your options if you have them.

\Thanks

Pat, I miss seeing that car.....we've got to get the guys together again for a drink after the New Year.

The Tubi tips look great but they're just a wee bit on the $$$ side

Im embarrased to tell you what I paid....but I wanted them to go with my tubi exhaust so I bent over... way over. They remind me of small megaphones and probably enhance the sound at least thats what I hope they do. Got em from a tubi group buy last year..forget the name...search will find it for you.

The last two styles you have shown look nice.

Do you have any pic of them on a car ?

and how does the diameter of those comare to the stock "S" tips?
