I had been trying to decide which way to go and I finally got it done. I wanted the look of the duel exhaust, but not a lot of extra noise. Here is what I went with:
- ACS style diffuser painted black (thanks DRANGED!)
- Remus Duel (some call it quad) Exhaust
- ACS style 1 in, 2 out TIPs from JBSPEED
Now for the pictures. Let me start off with...my car is filthy. The dirtiest it has been since I bought it. But it is winter in Germany.
Here is is before the mod, but with the diffuser in place
Now on the lift
Battery Cover removed
Out with the old
In with the new
Tips installed
Back on the ground
Dirty but Done
Close-up of the right tip
Overall, I am stoked. I love how it came out. The combination of the ACS diffuser and tips, I think looks great. I am glad I went with black on the diffuser to off-set it all from the car.
I really like the shop I took it to. They only charged $100 to do the install and they let me help - a great way to learn about your car!
What do you guys think?

looks good, how does it sound????
I really like the sound. Not too loud, but enough that you know there's something different about it.
