Exhaust shop has to do a little fabrication but it's just to bend pipe and weld in place to fit tips on. Square ends of OEM pipe off muffler need cut off.

Be so kind to refer the diameter of each pipe.

Hey guys Draxxas

This is new to me and I’d love to put quad tips on my m550, is there any backlash/frowning upon/distaste for adding branded tips on without that brands’ exhaust system? For ex Remus tips on a non Remus system or akrapovic tips on an M performance exhaust system


genuinely curious.

It’s probably frowned upon By the general community

Personally I could care less about someone not happy about what I put on my car. I make it look good to me. I don't aim to please people I don't know. If you like the name on the tips put them on. If not get ones with no name. It's funny, I've come across M8 owners that say the M shouldn't be on my car because it's not a true "m" car. According to BMW that designed and produced the car it is an "M" 850i . Not going to please everyone. 😊

I personally think "up-badging" is a sin. That said, you did not do that. You simply added an "M" up front. People may disagree but that is NOT up-badging. I believe the tune for these cars is created by their M performance team. As a result, it is an "M"850i. I take all my badges off all of my cars. It keeps people guessing. ; ) I guess someone could accuse me of "Up-badging" via my license plate.. LOL It will out run a stock M8.

Besides the extra two doors, descent looking.

One could argue that a 4600 lbs car should not be an "M" car in first place. Everyone has their own opinions.

If BMW calls it that or M (followed by 3 digits), then that's what it is.

Same. I have so far the fastest m850i in the world and easily leave a M8 after the 1/8th. Car has a stage 2 E30 tune and I just switched tuners so the times I have on dragy are about to be beat. Going to take a couple weeks to get map tweaked. Tuner says 4-5 revisions before it's done . First datalogs today. Now I wait for Rev 2 😊

Do you use 255/35R20 front & 285/30R20 rear tires on the OEM wheels? I believed the OEM fits 245/35R20 front & 275/30R20 rear. I am going to buy new tires since one of it is damaged. Please let me know if my OEM wheels can go with 255/35R20 front & 285/30R20 rear tires. Thank you.
