Please help!! Need comments about 128i BMW Performance Exhaust installed on a 130i

Guys,

Here's my story. I live in Guatemala, I have a E87 four door hatchback 130i and I want the BMW Performance Exhaust, but the thing is that I'm not able to find it at a reasonable price. My local BMW dealer quoted it in US$1,500 which for me is doesn't make sense.

So, I've been doing some online research about the BMWP Exhaust for the 128i coupe (which I can find online from US$750 ) and comparing the pictures, what I see is basically that the exhaust tips for the 128i are longer and the hanging bases are more towards the bumper, compared to the 130i which has shorter exhaust tips and the bases more close to the exhaust structure.

Do you think that with some modifications to the hanging bases and the tips, I would be able to install the 128i BMWP Exhaust on my hatchback?

Here are two pics for you to compare them:





Many many thanks for your comments!!
