Rear Diffuser Modification

wolves · 01-27-2015, 10:55 PM

So I purchased a CF diffuser for the F30 base body from a member on here as I don't have Msport. It looks great but has quad cutouts.
When I went for a muffler delete, the single pipes coming through the cutouts looked funky with so much space around them(even with biggest tips) so I opted for the quads and I feel too poser already.

I can get the pipe re-done, going to the left side with twin tips like the stock setup but does anyone know what I can do to cover up the right side diffuser cutout? My only idea is to contact a CF vendor and have a custom "cover" made. Anyone have a suggestion on who I could reach out to?

Thanks!

I would leave the quad pipes or buy a new diffuser. Just my opinion.

You may just want to go with another diffuser rather than modify the one you have. You can always resell the one you have now.

Damn was afraid that would be the suggestion

I'll probably need to start looking around or learn to live with the quads. Sounds amazing but looks a bit too much.

This^!

Pictures?

smithf80 · 02-01-2015, 02:10 AM

Yeah I would love to see pics too. Quads can definitely look nice and no one should give you crap, especially not if you're badged. Even if you're not though its your car and if it looks good to you then who cares.

wolves · 02-01-2015, 02:22 AM

I'm debadged but just ordered personal plates that will reference 328. Side note: Anyone who ordered personal plates in California - is the 8-12wk wait time true? That seems really long.

Picture attached. It looks like there's a rough edge on the right cutout that I didn't notice before. Might need to lightly sand that.

USC2000 · 02-01-2015, 11:47 AM

Keep the quads! The car looks great.

rikwynnpa · 02-01-2015, 02:59 PM

I think those quad pipes are outstanding looking. What did u do to get them?

Thank you! I just might, I'm starting to adjust to them being there. I DO like that the tips aren't too big.

Just a muffler delete. The shop basically put a small Y piece where the muffler was with straight pipes from that point back on either side, then the last part angles outward. I know a lot of people aren't down with the drone but honestly it's not bad to me. I assumed drone would be much worse. RPM below 2000 is pretty quiet. Cold start up is decent, warm is perfect, pops and gurgles are nice. Some people might even want it louder but I'm content with the sound so I'm leaving my resonator alone. I don't have an intake, tune or downpipe. I can try to get a video up over the weekend. If you're anywhere near the Los Angeles area and would like to check them out, PM me for shop info! I'm sure any muffler shop can do the job similarly.

Looks awesome! Id keep the quads, really like the diffuser as well!

thanks

I agree. I have the 428 and the single dual left sided exhaust drives me nuts. Looks sharp!
Also can you tell me which defuser you got?

Boxtyp3 · 04-14-2016, 01:42 AM

Keep it. Looks neat!

BimmerF32_430i · 04-14-2016, 11:01 AM

More pics! I didn't even know they had a diffuser for the non m sports! Looks amazing

PelotonToPodium · 04-14-2016, 02:25 PM

wolves Any lead on where to get this diffuser? I've got a non-m 328 and NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.

Also...and sadly, yes the plates (I'm assuming you got legacy) take that long. My buddy put his order in mid/late dec and just received them a week or two ago. I put mine in January, any day now (but not really, because DMV).

BimmerF32_430i · 04-14-2016, 02:44 PM

Hmm looks like the kelleners style lip. Idk how I feel about it seeing that side profile view. I'd love to see some real side profile pics though[IMG]http://img.diytrade.com/smimg/935476..._lip_/6c7f.jpg[/IMG]

JOE YOUNG · 04-15-2016, 06:20 AM

For me, it actually looks great. I say keep it.

Versipellis · 04-15-2016, 10:31 AM

Did you ever record a video?

TFX_N20 · 04-15-2016, 09:45 PM

Rear looks amazing. I need this diffuser. How was the install? I was looking at another non-m rear diffuser but you have to cut the rear to fit it.
