How do people do the quad tip conversion?

How do I get custom quad tips on my E85? That "black box" is in the way. How do you guys do it?

IMHO it's a waste of time and money
Zero gains, just bling and you have cut up your car to do it.

Battery relocation or have a tip extend far out from the main muffler. As previous poster said, expensive and no performance gains:

If you can get a rear M bumper and put your battery similar position as the M has it tou can totally do a nice qua and maybe even get a nice after market X pipe and Mufflers to go along or always can use the M OE ones and work with those too. Probably takes time, dedication, and $$$ but I would think is a good result.

Neat ideas! I'll have to look for an E85 M Bumper then.

Offtopic: Would an E46 S54 (M3) engine fit in our cars?

Yes but it's cheaper just to sell your m54 and buy a Z4M

I suppose.

What engine is in a Z4M? Better, worse, or same as the S54? (Performance and longevity)

Same engine but you also get better brakes, suspenson, addition of LSD and ability to run wider tires.
