need your opinions, cant decide M5 rear or M-tech rear
i dont have quad exhaust now, but will go quad sooner or later
thinking M-tech now and get diffuser later on if i go quad, or stay with OEM now and get M5 rear later on if i go quad
what do you guys think?

mtech rear for now, swap out the diffuser later if you decide to go with a quad tip set up

Having the MTEC rear bumper gives you more flexibility since it has a diffuser you can swap out between single and dual exhaust outlets.
With the M5 or M5 style rear bumpers, it looks more aggressive but you will also look funny if you go back to a single exhaust for any reason.

M5 rear. M-tech dual opening diffuser cost about $350-400. Sell the M-tech and the money pays for the M5 rear from Umnitza. It pays for itself.
That's what I did. I wanted the diffuser for the M-tech but it didn't fit my tips. So I went with the M5 rear. Unless you rather go with the look of the M-tech and diffuser.

Why Go Quad, when RPI exhaust is more powerful than any quad exhaust you can install? And Eloy has the Dynos to prove it. Go MTEC with RPI exhaust.

Our quad exhaust put down very good Dyno numbers as well, plus no one can really feel a 3HP difference ultimately, but the quad pipes sure look good:
