50i quad exhaust tips?

shimmy23 · 12-11-2022, 02:44 PM

Sorry if this is a repost. I couldn't find anything on the 50i from a search. Is there an exhaust tip solution for those of us that want quads on the stock muffler?

i think i found quads for the 35i, but aren't those mufflers different out back?

Also was wondering if anyone has done an "OEM exhaust mod' like the e9x M3 guys? basically cut the oem muffler open and replace the perforated sections with solid pipe.

EDIT: regarding the "oem exhaust mod" looks like folks have done this. has any just removed the resonators, left the oem muffler? looking for a little more growl without replacing the entire thing.

I'm running exhaust cutouts right before the muffler, resonator is out, Xpipe is in. Honestly the resonator doesn't do much it just gets rid of the drone, doesn't make it really louder.

Looking forward to what you find. I do prefer the quad tip look. I believe classic_erik has a SuperSprint quad tip setup and the look is nice, but I can't go too much louder on the daily. Did the OEM muffler mod with the E92, and it's a good happy medium in my opinion.

Side note, kudos on the clean E46M and E90M builds.

You’d have to cut off the stock tips to figure something out. Just buy my SuperSprint son. For sale in the classifieds…

Not great photos but here are staggered 4” quads I had welded onto the factory muffler.
