Looks like a really clean job.

Does a collision paint/body shop have the ability to paint and modify exhaust piping? Or does one need to get the bumper painted and then head to a muffler shop for exhaust work?

I have a 328 and plan to do an mtech 335 style exhaust conversion and want to know if that's something that can be done at one place.

I like the size of these tips for a quad....slightly understated and they got the rear perfectly....well done

Thank you but I hear you! I originally wanted something closer to 3.5". But I only wanted the OEM CF quad diffuser look (with no fins). So that meant I had to get smaller tips. It came out looking larger than I expected though so I'm happy.

Thank you, and great question! I wanted to know this myself and learned first hand. I actually took it to a body shop to have the bumper and diffuser installed AND the stock tips cut off. I then drove to the muffler shop where they installed the quad tips. So it wasn't a one-stop shop for me since the body shop didn't do welding but it worked out fortunately.

looks good! any bigger would be to much for the rest of the stock look.

Delusive · 03-25-2013, 12:23 PM

Looks nice and clean but you need to look more aggressive to pull off a quad setup right.

Rims, drop, and spoiler will do the trick but i'm sure your getting there sooner or later

Thanks, though I'm curious to see how it comes together once I'm lowered with wheels and m3 side skirts.

You're spot on!

I'll be lowered by tomorrow evening. I'll then paint the chrome trim black and redo the tint to be lighter. Wheels and m3 side skirts by summer.

Blindside_137 · 03-25-2013, 12:36 PM

Perfect! Thanks for the info! Was thinking that's the route I would have to take.

looks good..any shots from straight on ? welcome to the quad club

MiKc · 03-25-2013, 02:15 PM

Are those 3" tips?
Seems like that's the max it could fit before trimming is required.
I just got my mtech quad diffuser as well and want to do some bigger tips like 3.5" but I'm afraid it's too big!
Any thoughts and recommendation?
Think 3.5 will fit?
Oh and before I forget, where did u purchase ur tips?

yxjackxh · 03-25-2013, 02:19 PM

nice! now time for an mtech front if you havent got that done already.

Yes, these are CYBA 3" tips, purchased from CYBA. The quad diffuser is about 7" in width. So anything larger would require cutting, and since it's a CF diffuser, it wasn't an option.

To the best of my knowledge, ppl seem to go with duke dynamic to accommodate larger tips. That, or trim a non-CF diffuser to fit larger 3.5" tips.

Thanks! The mtech front definitely has a clean look but I wanted the aero lip since it looked slightly more aggressive.

clean! looks very oem
