Not sure if you've seen middle Eastern cars where people will simultaneously put Mercedes AND BMW logos on, say, a Lada reminds me of this. (or the famous BMW Audi R8 lol). My opinion is the OP's car is a good looking car that just had a huge hand-written Rolex sign taped onto it.

-1 There's a difference between hating (dislike because i can't afford it or create it myself) vs criticizing (i think it's dumb). Either way, it's my opinion and you can either take it for what it's worth (zero) or cry about it. |

I think it looks great. Our cars can't give us the performance we'd like but if making it look sportier makes him happy, then why not?
It sure made me happy to get my BMWPE converted into duals.. I'm happy I didn't get all the heat for that since mine was done by extending a pipe through to the passengers side. Why didn't I get bullseyed as much as he is now? We're both aiming for the same thing... LOOKS! Who cares if it's fake! Good job OP!! Quote:

Gjm, you didn't get bullseyed because at least you made the effort to plumb the second pipe. You gained no performance, but at least made the effort to make it look decent, so it's now in the realm of taste - whether one likes the look or not. The OP in this thread just 3M taped a set of unplumbed pipes on the right side. It's borderline shameful.

![]() Honestly, I think you should've done nothing and left your car as it was. The reason being that, as I wrote upthread, I really like the way you modded the car otherwise (the matte grey looks sharp) and (if asked to) I would have trouble criticising it from any angle. What does it matter if it didn't have quads, real or fake? There have been plenty of beautiful cars which are "asymmetric" in their exhaust placement, and others which were symmetric but fugly. It comes down to someone looking at the car going "nice exhaust" - and you have a choice of saying "nah it's fake, just looks" (bam, instant points down) or dodge the question. Why bother?

I did something similar (not with quads) but I've also routed the piping to the passenger side since itd look rather weird in the winter when exhaust fumes are only coming out of one side. Not a bad job tho...looks good from the rear

Here is the true quad conversion. LTBMW installed a 335 Vanguard exhaust on a E92 328i. I'm thinking of doing this. By the way who the hell need that stupid emergency box? Might as well get rid of it.

all you ppl bitching about OP, his car is nicely put together and all the mods flow together with his csl trunk and diffusor, the ones who bitch u guys probably just have those cheap tape on mods like m3 lip spoiler or matte black grills.
to OP: u done a great job and your car looks great, screw the haters |

... fake quads? I know this has already been said plenty of times by others, but, really? Either take the time to do it right or find something else to mod. No need to make it look rice.

At The End Of The Day... Your 335 Dual Exhaust Is "just For Looks"...
Merely Dual To Distinguish Between Models. My Friends Accord Has A Dual Exhaust, Know Why? Because It Says "sport" On The Back.

Uhh... what? Have you actually seen a 335 exhaust? The Accord exhaust splits at the rear axle, while the 335i exhaust actually has two channels straight to each turbo, all the way from the downpipes to the exhaust tips. Google Images is your friend, friend.
