Default Quad exhaust on a diesel

Hey guys,
Pretty new to subarus, I've found an ad for a diesel hatch and it has a quad exhaust, I thought the only came single sided, anybody know where I can find a bumper to fit the exhaust.

Was thinking of buying a hatch diesel myself. I have already bought an STI quad back box but you also need the STI bumper insert. There may be adjustments needed to the pipework to make it fit but not sure.

I used a dremel to fit the Prodrive exhaust on my old WRX hatch, though you will struggle to get the surrounds to fit as in the above picture. You also have to cut quite big "arches" if you want them symmetrical as the WRX exhaust is further over than the exits on the quad.

I don't think the insert separates from the bumper, though fitting an STI bumper is fairly easy, if you can find one. Might as well get new wings and front bumper whilst you are at it!

That's one of our conversions. We did it quite allot on the diesels upon customer request. just trim the original bumper in the right place and bolt on the exhaust trims

Are the hangers for the exhaust in the same place on the diesel. I would just get the link pipework custom made to mate back into the exhaust and prob change the whole thing back to the downpipe.

Rob by exhaust trims do you mean the silver surrounds as in the pic of the STI above?

My liking for the diesel is diminishing after reading a lot of horror stories ref the cranks.
