Hi spr
Ok cool be glad to help you out. I am not sure about anodising stainless steel. But I can make them out of aluminium and that would be better. I could do something really cool for you. If I make them out of aluminium I send it for black anodising then engrave the numbers in. That would look amazing.

aluminium might feel too light though, maybe i can just powder coat?
Your call if its a six speed i can send that to you tomorrow.
Very interested in seeing the finished product. The tips look great, you may have a market for them.Machine monkey said:So mine and Luke's quad exhaust systems are doneAlthough the weather has conspired against us by the looks of things. So we might not be able to fit them
dam weather!!!
Hears how they look anyway
I will get some pics up But it was a pain in the ass!! I will happily polish up anyone's tips. I will happily make new tips. But i don't think i will offer the quad exhaust. The amount of time it took was unreal probably look at about 30-40 hours.
after polishing
Maybe offer a quad parts kit: tips and 90* elbow?Machine monkey said:
Yeah but i think there are people out there doing that already. I would help a member do there own if really need it.
I would still consider selling it as it is really expensive aftermarket for non-M's. Eisenmann, Vivid racing etc offer a quad conversion exhaust with 1 silencer (like my set-up) ready to be installed at prices over 2.000 or 2.500 euro... I'll admit though: I got mine for 500 euro all-in and install took about 8 hours.
Maybe i could do something like that a kit that you would have to get fitted yourself?? Any way hear are some pics of the second back box. Its all stainless steel has a flexible section that joins to the pipe out of the original back box and a fully adjustable bracket. I have not tryed it yet its all a bit try it and see at the moment.
Excuse the untidiness it is a prototype after all. Luke all being well buddy your brackets will be made tomorrow. I can send them then.

I would advise a small silencer (like those flexible ones) on the pipe that goes all the way to the tips on the right, otherwise you will get more bass sounds in comparison to the higher sounds. I have noticed that almost all aftermarket models, ready to fit, have this as well. Like this one for example:
Bad i am not sure i follow buddy??
