Default My new Quad pipes !!

Finally got around to chopping the 3" exit pipes and fitted my one into two's , now have 2 1/4" quads .
Has also altered the sound a little bit as well , very pleased , the twin 3" exit was a bit boring , even when I squashed then to an oval...better but still boring... 2 1/4" quads = not boring !!

I like quad tips. I think they work well on your car. I might do something simialr on my car as well.

Those looks great. I would like them more if the tips were rolled.

You took my idea. I just got my 3" pipes but with the tips I got it doesnt look boring. I think you should have went a little bigger but maybe that is because of the angle of the tips.

It looks great, I just think you may need larger tips. I had the same problem when I went quad on my car, I was too conservative on the tips the first time around and had to change them

Drifter the jig for the filter adaptor is coming along with the jig for replacing the rear mufflers with a 3" pipe from the last flange , along with the jig for replacing the balljoints in the upper control arm...slowly !!
D2 the reason I went for 2 1/4" pipe is that tht's the biggest I can get through the cut out in the rear sill , 8 mm each side and 6 mm in between the two pipes .
Quad 3" would be awesome but one would have to cut the car .

Looks too dainty for such a big car . Either fit single tips with some meat or cut those off as it looks like 4 stock unfinished exhaust pipes sticking out the back missing the tips.

Agree with SKperformance. Beefy rear end needs beefier tips to set it off. Not a bad look, just too small IMO. Truly does look like unfinished exhaust that is missing the tips.

Ghetto, surely not. If it were ghetto it would be uneven, rusted through, and 3 tips instead of 4
