Zele rear bumper
 
Vendors say that the single tip will work fine with the Zele rear bumper, did anyone give it a try or seen a picture?

Best place to get a Zele rear bar..?

Cheers..

I don't think single tip is a good idea since its designed specifically for quads but it can always be modified...

Oh that rear is delicious Mr&Mrs :yum:

Shine does not make the replica... I had to flush out who made them and you are better off buying the real deal! The fitment on the real Zele is 100% primer and paint and that is all... The Zele exhaust locations are also much higher than the stock locations. I would know... I have the largest exhaust on the forums... Quad 3" exhaust to Quad 4.5" tips!

I love the Zele rear, but the FI oval tips are not doing it for me. :(

I would request different tips, or go the same route as Mike.

bullitt5897 06-12-2013 06:46 PM

Too bad My tips are discontinued...

Good thing he ditched the FI oval tips for a different exhaust. ;)

Mr&Mrs 06-12-2013 07:47 PM

Um I have the Zele exhaust the above set up was temp until it came in. Order took 7 months.

I know you do now Mr/Mrs :icon17: , I was just saying I'm not sure what Tony was thinking with those Ovals. :ugh2:

I really like the Zele rear, but there are very few exhaust that look good with it, and your set up is pure sex yo...

On another note: has any one tried the Zele rear with the amuse quad tip exhaust?

Mr&Mrs 06-13-2013 08:15 AM

Tony didnt do the ovals! I had to modify my 3" F.I after his hands graced it :icon17: I got the Zele kit after his exhaust was already on the car.

As bullit mentioned the outlets are higher and further in for the tips to be centered. As you can see in the pick from OKZ's car the pipes are contacting the outer edge of the bumper exits.

Mr&Mrs 06-13-2013 08:18 AM

Thanks, and not that I know of. If it fits factory specs though I can tell you no. Also the openings have some very odd dimensions. At least with the F.I exhaust my ONLY option was using those ovals. Any quad tip that fit added an extra 11" almost of piping and there was no where to lose that distance without pretty much building a new system. You can see examples of this also in OKZ's thread. The first quads he put on stuck out pretty far.

Knowing I already had the proper exhaust coming I was looking for the cheapest way out for the time being, and I really didnt think it looked that bad.

Coon-azz 06-13-2013 08:44 AM

looks great, but being built of 100% fiberglass is not worth it me. Been there, done that on a few cars, and they always fall apart. Needs to be stronger for the $, unless its a trailer bitch.

The bumper alone is probably around 1500 shipped not sure though exchange rates also make it vary.

This fiberglass is very, very well constructed. I have got out of the car to realise I had pushed into a parking curb and bent it inwards a few inches no cracks or breaks happened. It just flexed right back into position when I moved back. The side skirts have also held up well to hitting the top of speed bumps. Ya it has a couple scratches on the bottom bit not splits, cracks, breaks, etc. The price of being low and looking good!

Well then that's a good sign. I love this piece, just wish it wasn't sooooo expensive.....That's a lot for a rear bumper.... but damn sexy....:tup:

I've got the GTM SPec 3" Quad Ti Tip Exhaust System coming from the US to Austalia with my twin turbo kit so I need to get a Zele rear bar to fit the quad tips.. I was considering getting the rear bar cut and plastic welded to extend the arches, but LOVE the Zele rear bar..

QUESTION...

Is it a 'sin' to have just a rear bar and standard everywhere else..? I'd like to measure the Zele rear bar to make sure it won't hang any lower than the side (if anyone would like to help... ;) hint, hint...) before going ahead with it..

Advice, opinions..?

Cheers guys..

DEpointfive0 06-15-2013 06:41 AM

^Bar? Or bumper?

Mr&Mrs 06-15-2013 01:28 PM

Yes I would love to help if I knew what you were talking about. How about a picture with some arrows or something :tup:

OMGWTFBBQ 06-15-2013 01:51 PM

From what I've seen.. I would say that the zele rear bumper sits a tad lower than the stock rear bumper. So it might look somewhat weird if you did zele rear and stock side skirts/front bumper. Soo... You should consider going zele front/side skirts/rear. Problem solved. :tup:

I was hoping to modify my FI exhaust with a clean quad tip solution, but just would not work out. I wound up building a custom exhaust to fit my Zele kit. Attachment 71384

Mr&Mrs 06-18-2013 03:49 PM

That looks pretty sweet! Zele done a great job on almost forcing you to buy their kit for everything to be perfect fit lol. Glad someone else couldnt make it work right either. People didnt want to believe me.

neohalo 06-18-2013 04:00 PM

The custom exhaust was a huge PIA, but now that it's done, I am really happy with way it turned out and sounds great too. I was told early on that I could modify my FI and add quad tips--but nope, no go at all with the angle of the bumper.

Mr&Mrs 06-18-2013 04:40 PM

I felt your pain man I know. At least we are both looking good now!

shadow85 08-04-2017 09:57 AM

Ahh damm i have the FI 3" TT CBE and really wanted to get the Zele Rear. So can we definitly not have it modified to fit?

cooltoy 08-07-2017 10:41 AM

Zele rear is ugly IMHO.
