Rear quad tips

I've installed the quad tip exhaust tips that I previously posted the link for as some of you had requested. The tips are on and look really good. I used Sebring cans as well replacing the stock mufflers so I don't know for sure how well they would work with stock mufflers, but believe they may fit with a bit of work by a good exhaust person. The problem is the outlet is offset from center creating the need for an "S"shaped pipe before the tips to bring the outlet pipe to center. No body cutting was done for these tips!

Here's the link for the tips again.

Attached are some pics of the tips, not the best pics, taken with my iphone but should show that they fit well with plenty of room. FYI, the Sebring cans give the car a very aggressive sound, louder than stock, but not too loud by my estimation, though you will get some looks for sure...

If anyone wants photos of the under side work just let me know.

Fast Cars!
Just an FYI, all the diffusers have shipped out last week. If anyone did not receive their email with the tracking # already, please let me know.

At this time, I would like to thank everyone again for their participation, trust and patience. I hope you all enjoy your new part.

I would still like to do a group but for a front lip spoiler for the 07-08 sport/AMG bumper.

How much will it cost?

Neal,

Just got my CF rear diffuser installed..........looking real GOOOOOOD!!!!!! I brought it to DCT/Sonic Motorsport in Mountain View, CA for install and when they saw the Euroteck logo on it, the first comment they made was, "Euroteck makes good stuff". The wait was well worth it. Great job Neal. And also thanks again to Carne57 for starting this post, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find stuff like this.

Car looks high-tech, but I'm low-tech when it comes to computers. Hopefully this is the attachment button. No fancy camera, just simple pics from my blackberry. Ok, let's see if this works.

You might want to add a few more interior items like this. The diffuser was the final touch........maybe. I think I'm all carbon-fibered out now.

Thank you very much...... Looks great on your car! Sonic is very good, we have had many people talk very well about then when installing our parts.

Ahh yes!!!! we never got that going did we? I forgot, becuase someone with an SL55 was wanting to do the same... It would be priced very close to the diffuser.... just a bit more.... For 10 lips, it would be about $750 each.

Finally pics of my sl with the diffuser. I had to replace my bumper to have it installed. It looks great and I love the contrast with the white, All I need now is a front lip spoiler

apologies for the not so great pics, the sun was not cooperating.

Everybody's car is looking real Nice!!! By the way, what kind/brand of exhaust tips are jmejones and gqa using? Are they the same ones that carne57 just installed? They fit the rear diffuser slot real well.

My tips were attached to the new exhaust I purchased so I can't really help you. Sorry. It was a custom exhaust by Pepe in Ca.

These things look great. I was the first to order the SL AMG rear diffuser so I can't wait until mine comes in.

Samuelhii,

I don't remember that exact breakdown of the installation cost because I was installing all the carbon fiber interior parts & rear lip spoiler all at the same time. But as I recall, just installing the rear diffuser was around $150-$200.

The best thing to do is to go there and get a quote. They have a small showroom with lots of carbon fiber products for all different kind of cars. Good luck.

Interested on one of these + bumper for a 2003. Where's the best place to source them? Also do the stock amg tips work, or you need others?
