Performance diffuser with stock tips

I'm looking at getting a performance diffuser for my 335i. But I'm a bit worried about how it's gonna look with the stock exhaust. Does anyone have this setup? How does it look?

will look fine, if you want something bigger you can always buys some bigger tips and get a garage to fit them on.

I've heard that it can be a bit tricky fitting the tips due to the angle of the exhaust. Is that true?

not really, just cut of existing tips and weld in the new ones, i suggest you search cyber tips from the us and go for 3.8or above. i had 3.5 and it still look tiny.

It is an e92, I'll keep you in mind. Probably won't be getting the performance diffuser for another month or so tho.

Thanks for the pics. I thought they would look a lot worse. Think I'll stick with the stock tips at first and then maybe change them further down the road.

I'm quite happy with the way it looks.its a more flush fit than the standard diffuser ie the tips don't jut out as far.I would only change mine for black tips and even then I don't want to be cutting them off and welding etc

That's good to hear, cause it kind of annoys me how far the tips stick out right now.

There's 2 main parts to it they cost about £150 and theyres 2 sticker things as well. I bought all the parts but didn't bother fitting the stickers as it looked cheap.It comes primed grey but I painted in in black PlastiKote and am happy with it.

You could take the dull chrome covers off and take them to a machine polishing place and they can remove the plating and you have a high polished stainless steel tips then as well as being OEM
