Default Opinions on quad exhaust

Thinking of modifying my Wald rear to accept quad exhaust tips. I currently have S2000 exhaust tips, but want to make it a bit more unique. The Mercedes quad exhausts have always caught my eye and I think I might take the plunge at the local muffler shop.

I did a quick photoshop of what I envisioned.

looks nice, are you going to stagger them? (inner pipes stick out further than the outer ones)

I've never been a fan of quad exhausts.

If you decide to go quad would you be interested in selling me your old S2000 tips?

I'm contemplating on just finding another pair of S2k tips to double up on them. If not, then I'll sell them.

I'd personally source a set of used AMG tips and make those work with it, for a super clean, yet OEM look.

You can find them on eBay all day long in the 60-80$ range.

I thought about that, but most AMG tips have AMG stamped into it.

I've looked at a lot of different setups. I will most likely just get the tips at the muffler shop and have them weld it on. I don't want to mess with bolt on tips anymore.

Can you photoshop the right side picture to have a black valence as well?

I like the look of quad and it helps that the rear valence area is black as well. Always thought about painting my LS rear valence, like how it was so easy to do with the G coupes. It gives it the wider more aggressive look

I think I'm do it!!

Any ideas on how a quad would look on a OEM bumper? needs to be cut of course.

Anyone here with quads?
