Anyone have Type 2 rear diffuser and Dinan exhaust?
As a newbie to M3 mods, I was excited that I have just received a VRS type 2 rear diffuser and was looking into mounting it when I ran into a snag... Seems to be quite snug with the Dinan exhaust tips!
I had the exhaust installed by the dealer, so I am not sure if there is a way to adjust the distance between the tips and the bumper/diffuser. I can fit the diffuser inbetween, but the tips are right up against the diffuser... seems like a problem (melting the diffuser?).  Has anyone made this combo work? Any tips on the mount? My diffuser did not come with mounting tape... should it have? What tape/adhesive should I use? Thanks for any help! |

I don't know first hand what the Dinan exhaust muflers and all are constructed like but most exhaust/X-pipes are all bolt on (Remus also but you cut off the rear connecting pipes) So if you can either use a lift or put the rear on jack stands and get underneath with some simple tools, you should be able to re-adjust the muflers and the rest half of the pipes so the muflers hang a bit lower giving clearance from the Diffuser. I had to re-adjust my Remus muflers because the right got loose at the C-clamp and the crome tips made contact with the rear molding. Nothing cosmic if you're mechanic savey, but if not a local shop can certainly re-adjust everything nicely. Good luck. |
