Default Quad Tips

This a crude photochop by me of a quad tip I'm thinking of doing to my car. What do you guys think? Note: I got the pix from post by caipan 64, thanks in advance.

I really like that look!

Something has to be done with the rear bumper reflectors tho.

Do it and tell us how you did it!

Yea go for it, i wanted to do that as well

to give u a heads up most quad tips centered to a singel exhaust wont fit our stock openings (esp if u wanna go big) and the exhausts of our car are already as far out to each side of the bumper as possible which means ull be cutting a bit off the outer edges of the exhaust openings. This wont look good and I decided agains doing this mod for that reason. I tired test fitting porsche turbo tips (both the quads and the intertwined ones) but they didnt fit in the stock openings and would require bumper cuts in the worst places. regardless, if u dont mind taking a chance and going through with this mod, pls share with the rest of us. BTW If u plan on installing an aftermarket bumper u shouldnt have that problem as they are wider on each side

When I did the photochop, I added the extra tips toward the center of the car. I think I will be planning on doing it this way and create/custom make an exhaust tips that is off center. About the bumper, I acutally like the clean lines of the OEM plain bumper, I don't like the extra lines the GFX creates (wax and dirt collector). I'm planning on cutting the OEM bumper and molding something just for the exhaust tips. At worst, I will just cut it nicely and just not have flange like the OEM. I don't think it will hurt anything.

yea anyway the GFX kit wouldnt work cause of the extra lines. One of the members cut his rear for his quad exhaust, used rubber to cover up the cutlines. looked good and simple. He even has the cutlist for the exhaust hole

If you don't mind, who was it? I would like to know the list and what his/her results look like.

if I'm interested to Quad exhaust, I would get WALD exhausts and rear lip.
