I would have put some up seeing as I have some spare time these weeks, but the car is gone unfortunately.

You sold it?
Did you had any problems with your diffuser or any downsides?

[kb135]

Nope it was written off. Diffuser was awesome. The only prob was the alignment of the tabs, which need removal and re-gluing. Otherwise great diffuser!

Sounds great too! sorry I dont have a clip up just yet, but will do in the coming days. to describe it, it's very much like taking the stock sound, making it 20-25% deeper and about 20% louder and also adding a tad bit more let-off burble which is slightly more pronounced. I enjoy it. to start off with, the stock system has a bit of "drone" if you want to call it that, while cruising in gears 4-6 at around the 2000 rev mark. that is a bit more noticeable with this system, but not something that bothers me. Although I am very accustomed to the highly tuned, raspy sound of a Golf R32 so I am a little biased, even the stock 135i sound was not really impressive after stepping out of the Golf - rather bland in my opinion. But the 135i on it's own does sound lovely, and smooth, when not comparing.

In any case, I did this mod for appearance, not sound, as I always knew a turbo engine will never give me back what I miss most about my Golf.

Also, for those interested, the Magnaflow muffler part number is 14378.

Edit: by the way, flow on both sides seems equal :-)

Enjoy!

I AM SOOOOO GETTING THIS DONE.

Is there a substitute? Maybe another brand that has the outlets in the same spot...? o_O I will never be getting the real one I know is outrageously expensive.

Nothing that looks so good and aggressive. And for the price which was...

[OzJustin]

If anyone does spot another vendor producing a replica Hartge quad diffuser please let us know here. This rear setup will likely be on my to-do list in 2014 but not if no diffuser is available

Look at this on eBay:

That one has been on my watchlist for a good while. The price including postage is really good but I'm yet to see anyone confirm fitment. Want to be the guinea pig haha?

I really wish another company would come out with a Hartge replica as the centre exit quads look much tougher than the wide exits in my opinion.

SUBSCRIBED FOR VIDEO CLIP!!!!
Man I guess its time for me to start looking for a 135I bumper and a shop to make a custom exhaust
