Quad exhaust conversion, what are my options?

[JINGLE]

ok so i have a 2008 2.0i and ive got myself a //M rear with the space in the bumper for a quad exhaust. (needs to be repaired/sprayed)

ive had a couple of problems recently with my current aftermarket exhaust fitted by previous owner, so i need to bring the quad conversion to the front of my mod list (the hanger has separated from the back box, so its currently just tacked on for the time being)

so what i want to do in the next few weeks is get the rear bumper sprayed and ready to go on and i want to get a quad exhaust fitted so i want to try and find the best option for me in the meantime while i get the bumper sorted so i can hopefully go straight out and get the exhaust sorted out at the same time.


currently i have the back box joint half way under my car and as far as im aware this isn't normal (normal is a 1 piece??) and has been done to accommodate the current back box (could somebody confirm this?)

so what are my options and does anybody have any guide prices/recommendations of where they had theres done etc?
im assuming theres 2 ways of doing this....
1 new back box piped across to the 2nd exhaust recess (probly cheapest and easiest?)
and 2 new back boxes both plumbed in (i would much prefer this but i believe i would need to start relocating battery and cut bits of the boot up, which is a lot more work and money??)

any comments welcome

your best option is to do the complete conversion and get an M

trouble is i would want a White Roadster.... and there was only ever 1 made for the UK so my chances are slim lol (not to mention i dont have another £5k+ minimum lol)

1. Just put the tips on and don't connect them. (Who will notice?)
2. Buy an MR and respray it.

The drivers side on his car won't have anything to hang tips on :?

 

[Scooba_Steve]

Point well made, but surely just fixing them to the bumper or whatnot will suffice when not functional?

Please don't just fit fake tips, it's obvious when the car is running and will cheapen what is a great looking car.

 

[JINGLE]

Don't worry Defo not going for the fake look, would prefer twin back boxes but it just depends on what the price is and how much works involved. I've messaged machine monkey and will hopefully get a reply when he's back off holiday and go from there, at least then he can give me some advice if he isn't able to do it himself

Twin boxes will be a pain with the battery tray in the way! http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=10723
