Jlevi SW | DiMisa Quad Tips- gauging interest

Hi guys,

We are in the middle of test fitting the DiMisa quad exhaust tips but would first like to gauge your interest in them. Below are the pictures of the prototype. Let us know what you guys think.

Thank you,
Kenny

I mean no disrespect, but what's special about these? They look like regular tips to me.

This is just an interest thread and in their current form, would be better suited for the 335 that comes with dual tips. However, we can do these in a variety of finishes like matte black so you can change the look of the stock tips.

Splitting tips at the end is a bit cheesy. I actually think 4 tips on the M3 is overkill and added weight. You might want to look into offering stock tips in black for those that want to eliminate all their chrome.

Not a fan at all of the 2 into 1 tip. Perhaps the quad tips on the M3 is a bit of overkill and could be accomplished in a two single tips. However, it is a signature element. The 2 into 1 makes it look even more fake/unnecessary. Might I even say a bit ricer - the look for the fellow who has single tips but REALLY want doubles but does not want to spring for a full exhaust.

Secondly, the way the tips appear to grow in diameter also looks pretty cheesy. I, and I suspect most, prefer the larger uniform diameter appearance.

I would be willing to bet on very little success with this product.

Guys,

This is mainly for the 335. We just wanted to post on here since some of you guys own non-M models and would like to see what you think on these. Again, we're just gauging interest right now.

Typically

the enthusiat side of me would not offer a cheesy Mod to 335 owners..

The Business side of me would definatley sell this product along with a diffuser.

What does all of this gobbly goop mean..??

I am more of an enthusiast when it comes to cars
