Hamann style rear diffuser
Hi everyone
I want to buy hamann style rear diffuser for BMW F10 535i(non-Msport). Does anyone know where I can get it in good quality? And if anyone has it for sale, please let me know. Also, do you know where I can get dual exhaust tips? What do you think about those tips?http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...e&apwid5O1UY8H |

JL motoring carries them. Good quality. I got one, myself. But you must be ready to cut your original bumper and not change it back.
About the tips. You want to get "ANGLED" and "SLANTED" tips. So they fit the contour of the bumper (bumper is curved). In my opinion, straight tips are only good when exhaust outlet is close to the middle of the bumper (ex. M3) or when there is only single outlet (ex. 528). Check Lawson industries. they have the tips I am talking about. Last edited by yxc145; 02-23-2012 at 01:59 PM.. |

About the exhaust. I originally only had the tips replaced and resonator taken out. But two problems with that. 1. OEM mufflers is very close to the bumper. So you only have very small space and have to cut a lot of the aftermarket tips off. You need a good shop to make this look nice and I don't think you can change back to original tips. 2. Taking the resonator out alone is not making a difference in sound. Unlike my Mercedes w204 350, I think OEM mufflers are covering up most of the sound. So I decided to get a magnaflow custom system done by a good shop. |

the easiest route to put tips on with a diffuser is to swap out your mufflers for the magnaflows...most shops will not want to deal with putting tips on your oem mufflers to fit the diffuser due to the small amount of space available... itll take too long for them to fabricate tips that fit
i have the authentic 3D Designs diffuser and fron lip available for sale if you are interested. Im in So Cal also |

Will those magnaflow mufflers affect my warranty? |

If your dealership is an asshole yes they can, but there's plenty of dealerships that are mod friendly.
