Opinions...Thoughts

Was thinking of importing the Quad CF Diffuser from Germany and having the quad exhaust custom made by Hi-Tech, who made up my mid pipes..

The CF quad diffuser is $961AUS (549 EURO) plus shipping from Inside Performance.. Just waiting on a shipping quote..

Your talkiing about the quad muffler aswell as the CF quad diffuser as a package..

That works out at $3,100AUS plus shipping, hence why I would have the quad muffler custom made here for half the price.

I like!

I think it will look very cool as long as it does not cost any kW from the exhaust.

Looks factory, just like the M3, which is a good thing.. If you have the cash go for it!

Looks great, but from a practical point of view it's going to add weight for no performance benefit. We'll still have a single system that will be further split from one to two & now to four.
I wouldn't put it on but I think I'll be in the minority with this point of view...

True.. As in the OEM diffuser almost weighs nothing as does the CF Diffuser..

Seeing that I will be looking at a custom quad system, Hi-Tech Exhaust will have to put their thinking caps on for a light weight substitute..

Otherwise...NO Krispy Kreme's for me and drop 3 kgs in weight..

Zuzu, that is even more gorgeous than your painted diffuser! And I'm not just saying that because I want first dips on your diffuser. I found a bad scratch on mine and have been scheming to have mine painted like your current one!

Zuzu I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Insideperformance are only offering the quad exhaust for sale if you get it fitted by them so to keep their design a secret. I could be wrong?

We all did ... the whole car

I don't know how restrictive is a quad system compare to a stock system... it will be interesting to hear some opinion.

I wonder the difference of feel of a 335 from an 135 is not merely the weight. It mmmmay be the quad exhaust.
