Quad tips fitment

535 non-M sport considering quad tips. I know my options are limited, trying to avoid cutting the bumper. Question is, would the 550 m-sport diffuser fit? If not, it seems like I have to buy the whole 550 non-m sport rear bumper. Don't think there is a part number for non m sport 550 diffuser. Kindly advise.

Thanks.

Unfortunately the MSport diffuser won't fit non-MSports so you'd need to replace the bumper cover with an MSport bumper cover then add the 550 rear diffuser.
A good body shop or even top notch muffler shop should be able to cut your diffuser to allow the quads to fit.

Here's a thread with pics of a guys who had theirs cut. They look really clean.

I believe they sell a dual exhaust diffuser for non m cars at rw carbon.com I would check before trying to get a whole new bumper cover plus painting.

Thanks for the feedback guys. What site is this? It's blocked. If go with a after market diffuser, would it be a direct swap? The OEM non m sport valence is removable by itself?

ModBarg**** u can find the rest in the commercial market. U would have to cut the bottom portion of your bumper to make this work. Or option B is what I'm planning on doing is buying the MTech rear bumper and buying a carbon fiber diffuser for a quad exhaust outlet like so
