Type 911 in England. Pelican Parts also sells a similar set. I had some quality issues with Type 911. They ended up sending me two sets of tips. Between the two I got a good pair and they told me to keep the rest! I installed them on the stock exhaust and they looked perfect. Then I took it all apart and installed my headers and the sport cans. Now the right tip sticks out about 1/2 inch farther than the left. Since that pic was taken I've adjusted them a bunch of times and I'm finally happy even though they are not 100% even. Expensive though - you really have to want quad tips and there is a paucity of options for 02 + 911s.

Try a search for X54 tips this has been discussed a few times recently. I also have the dual quad tips and they look hot.

I have these Ruf tips. They are a true dual and look much better than the stock IMO. The outer tip goes in deep beyond the edge of the bumper and does not have that short cut off look of the stock.
