Quad vs Double Tail Pipes?

Soul_Glo · 09-11-2017, 01:56 PM

Aesthetics on a 435d.

Anyone done it? Thoughts?

Like the M4 backside.

Manivxr · 09-11-2017, 02:09 PM

I have not done it myself but was considering it. Quad look good. But for some reason I don't think they suit a oil burner. Some may even think that you may be a M wannabe. Hence that's put me off quads and now looking at cobra twin exhaust. Nice balanced look which doesn't shout too loudly.

Quads do look, good on a 435d

Maybe Darth Helmut might let you have a look at his back end - think he's changed his to quads.

Just don't get into a I'll show you mine .... contest with him - it won't end well.

teaston · 09-11-2017, 02:53 PM

Not for me, unless it's an M car.

LiquidMercury · 09-11-2017, 03:56 PM

Haha, well I'm the worst person to ask as I've never given a shit what anyone else has thought of how I've spent my money on my car. I was tempted to go quad, but in the end I'm going dual, mainly because I've already bought the tips, lol.

This is again classy vs sporty imo
in general:
Quad = sporty
Dual = classy
Which look do you prefer

Turncoat !!

Piss off

While it looks cool it does play off as posing as a different car to those that know. Sorry to break the news to you, but unless your upgrading many performance aspects to surpass an M4 it goes into the rice category.

Tengocity · 09-11-2017, 04:41 PM

Whatever you like is the best! As long as you don't stick an M4 badge on too, then I think that if you're going to get a custom exhaust done then may as well go the whole hog.
I looked in to it but couldn't get it to work due to the retractable tow bar.

I think both look good, though on say an Audi I think the RS exhaust looks way cooler than the S quads.

Darth Helmut · 09-11-2017, 04:43 PM

I went from twin to dual.

Mainly aesthetics but the by-product is a slightly nicer lower down sound. Silencer removed so the area where the rear box used to sit now becomes a little Cathedral and gives a nice bit of bass. Certainly not anywhere near to a petrol but at certain conditions, it sounds nice which aint bad for a diesel. Sort of annoyed me that BMW ditched the dual pipe on the bigger engines with the F series as I'd always had pipe envy when I had my E92 looking at the 335d E92 duals.

Yes I've gone with no back box too. Only thing I wonder is whether that space is a bit crap for airflow and hence aerodynamics. Between that and spacers I'm pretty sure my drag is much higher than a standard car!

And would help explain why I only get 35mpg.

He has two dicks which are spaced apart so far that it was tricky to fit both of them into the factory pipes

May I be as bold to suggest your low mpg may not be related purely to poor aerodynamics

I'm thinking all the CF I've put on my car actually makes it heavier

(Note to self: Design and built a full CF floor and rear undertray)
