Custom Quad Exhaust Progression

mapleridge · 02-29-2012, 08:46 PM

Hi All,

So I bought the detailaddict cat less mid pipes. I bought a magnaflow muffler and tips as well. Last thing was the m3 bumper. All of that is with Leo @ detailaddict. He went to test fit the tips today and they are too big for the outlet. I really like the tips but I am looking for suggestions. Check out the pics and let me know if I should:

Cut The Bumper To Make Space
Buy New Tips (Suggestions Please)
Leave Them Sticking Out And Use Them

I need to make a decision by this weekend so your hasty response would be appreciated.

one size down from those and something in angle cut/single walled (non rolled) looks best imo. I wouldnt compromise the bumper for tips.

where did you buy the m3 rep bumper? any idea how much itll cost to paint?

Go one size down on the muffler tips and they should fit fine. Hit up cyba, they have a huge selection of muffler tips as well. Nice set up btw

Problem is magnaflow doesn't have a varying diameters in one style. Not per the site anyways. I hear what your saying about compromising the bumper.

I bought it from overstockautoparts or store AKA Suvneer. Paint should be about $250 from a local shop here.

Same as above. I will have to look at other magnaflow styles and options. I can't really wait on Cyba as I wanted to have it done this weekend or maybe I will have to push it until the end of March. Plus, magnaflow is cheaper and I trust their quality, not to say Cyba doesn't have good product.

Check out this pic of an M3 exhaust. Sort of sticks out too. Maybe a little less than what I would have to do to pull these tips off.

Just wait for cyba and do it once. If you install those youll regret seeing how it pokes out to much every time you park. Its worth the wait and you can sell those as "new" condition.

a LOT of people use cyba on this forum. They have quality parts at hella low prices. I feel what your saying about wanting to get it done this weekend but perfection takes time man. Do it right the first time and you'll never regret it...

Cyba doesn't sell any single walled angle cut quads or I would be allllll over them a long time ago.

#Tee · 03-01-2012, 04:04 AM

ya they did at one point iirc, its dc now. so i had to buy their rolled ones and cut off the rolled portion haha

Route 16 · 03-01-2012, 04:46 AM

one size down, non-rolled slant, titanium burnt tips, take your time.

mapleridge · 03-01-2012, 04:07 PM

Alright fellas. Lay the suggestions on me. I paid $100 for those magnaflow tips. The burnt Ti ones from Cyba were in the $200 ball park. Not sure I can justify that for tips.

MaximusJ · 03-01-2012, 04:12 PM

I went for Cyba 3" dark chrome tips; welded flush, they look awesome on this bumper.

VERY tight (one tip is touching the bumper a little), but with the PE, it doesnt get hot enough so that the bumper didnt melt.

#Tee · 03-01-2012, 04:12 PM

Had them machined the rolled edge...way worth it imo.

mapleridge · 03-03-2012, 04:18 AM

I'm in the process of looking at different tips. I don't really want to wait for cyba and I think I can get tips a lot cheaper. Don't get me wrong. Their product has constantly received good reviews. I am looking at 4 single tips or some duals that might work. Any non cyba options are welcomed.

XYR03 · 03-03-2012, 04:23 AM

is it a stock M3 bumper or a replica??

Dude, how do you keep your paint in such good conditions? I wash and wax my car religiously and its still riddled with swirl marks...

Leo is working on making me custom tips that he may electropolish or machine polish. If that fails it might be cyba to the rescue.
