Oval Exhuast tip???

Does anybody make a nice Oval exhuast tip to replace the stock ones?

Would be nice to have something that looks similair to the older Boxters.

Thanx!

I have a QuickSilver Cat Back system in perfect condition with about 8000 miles on it. It looks very much like a Boxter. It is very light and gives good torque. I will swap it for you wheels! I have changed to a Miltek.

Contact London Stainless.
They have both dual tip and single oval tips for the Quicksilver MCS exhaust-

I personally like the single oval tip. It's well done and unique. But it works best with a single sided exhaust.

There may be other sources for single oval tips. Consider that if you are running a dual exhaust you'll need to adapt the dual system for a single tip.

As for the Quicksilver itself- I liked it. I was a little loud but nice. Just a little drone at about 2900 rpm on the highway but nothing serious. When I added the Milltek header it got a little too loud for me so I switched to the Milltek cat back exhaust. My recommendation would be - use a stock exhaust header with the Quicksilver.
