Quad exhaust tail pipes modification



Continuing my Exhaust modification theme, next week I will be getting trigger happy with my welder and removing the old ovals in place of two twin exhaust tail pipes to get the quad AMG look!😎

To squeeze them in I'll need to trim a few mm from the bumper, will post some before and after pics.

I did quad conversion on my w204. Looks great.

Ours was just AMG diffuser swap; since you have to cut, make sure you do a clean job, no going back!

welded on

done, at gas station


three tube layers !

right side done.

left side done
Okay so quad pipes all done.

Removing the old tail pipes was the hardest part, really we solid, with 3 layers of tubes !? Had to grind and cut them off.

Then slight trim of the rear valance to

removing old trim
e the wider twin pipes then weld them in place.

Very happy, no change to exhaust note which is great, what do you think?

to IVAN750

The quad pipes are offset, you need to cut the old ones off, then trim and weld on the two twin pipes each side. You will also have to trim a little of the rear valance too as they are wider.

The ones I bought are these ones:
