3.5" Quad tips
Hi everyone, I was looking to put some 3.5" quad tips on my TL and I was wondering if I would have to modify my bumper to get them to fit. Please advise. Thanks!

Measure the exhaust cut out.. :ponder:

Stack through the sunroof - best option.

The ATLP Cat-Back for the TL-S model uses Quad 3.5" Tips.
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...acdd1abb45.jpg The 3.5" tips are too large for a base cutout though. For this reason we are experimenting with quad 3" tips with are tight but do fit in a base cut-out. Here we have one of our quad Accord setups mocked up in a Base A-Spec rear lip...we featured this on our @Heeltoeautomotive instagram page about a year ago... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...d550e9ec41.jpg |
the dual 3.5 tips wont fit with a base bumper. you need a type s bumper OR a type s a-spec lip and cut the base bumper openings wider (its covered up by the lip)

cutting the bumper isn't so bad if you really want to have a temporary or cheap fix for this. That's what I did with my Base when I installed the Endless Quads. Then I just bought some universal rubber guard and wrapped the bumper where I cut it to give it still a stockish looking look.

So Ive had my Base TL with A spec lip kit for about a month now and made an account just today for future questions and whatnot. Can you show me a picture of what your exhaust area looks? Ill get the 3 inch if i have to be the 3.5-4 inch look so much better so i am considering just chopping up the plastic if i have to and just wanna get an idea of what it would look like. thanks |
Thanks for the great info! Sadly, I've decided to part ways with my TL tomorrow afternoon. Going to hopefully be picking up a 2008 BMW 328xi Coupe Saturday morning!

no offense man, but that doesnt look very good. looks like a hack job plus the tips stick out way too far... but if you install a type S a spec lip, it would make it all look a whole lot better, the cut parts would be covered and the tips wouldnt stick out so far.
