Call the parts department to make sure. And call Sunset Porsche for potential better pricing- 503-641-8600. Ask for Phil.

Does your current tip bolt on? If so, I bet these will work. I don't know how the 986 is set-up. Sorry.

I like the dual tips that came on my Dansk sports exhaust. They were welded on mine, but I think now Dansk offers them as tips alone, that you can bolt onto their exhausts. Maybe it will fit the 03+ factory exhausts. Starting from 2003, the Boxster and Boxster S tips were bolted on the exhaust, whereas pre-03, they were welded on.

These tips also pop up on eBay on a semi-regular basis. It's a bolt-on job (at least on the 987) but a PITA to get off.

Hi Rick,

What year is your car? the 03+ seem to bolt on while the older ones are part of the Muffler.
If you car is older you best bet is to find an 03+ exhaust with the bolt on tips or an older 986S exhaust with the dual tips. My car is an S, perhaps the oval tip is differant
I just sold my 01 S exhaust for fifty bucks!

I have an 01 Boxster Base 2.7 and it has the 2 bolts, one on each side of the OVAL chrome tip. So it should be easy for you to remove if you want the "S" dual tip. Porsche's Tequipment also sells this tip as a factory option. I like the dual stacked version, single oval myself.

Yes, the double stacked oval is very cool too:

Here is the part number for the double stacked oval:

@porsche986spyder: The oval chrome tip you have goes over the existing oval tip welded on your muffler. The 03+ tips will not bolt onto your pre-03 muffler, because these tips are made to be bolted on the 03+ mufflers that have no tips welded on already.

Well the guy rick3000 never told us what year his car was. I was assuming he had an earlier model.
