Swapping 2018 lower Valence to 2017

[hamzah596]

Has anyone swapped the 2018 premium valence to 2017? Trying to go quad tips and add the RTR diffuser on my 2017 premium.

There's no way to do it, from what I've read. The connections are completely different, as are the bumpers. You can swap the entire bumper with the diffuser, though there are a couple brackets that need to be changed as well.

That sucks

That sucks

I'd have preferred to use the 2018 valance, as well, but ended up with the Roush (and hating it).

I refuse. I’m thinking about cutting my stock one but not sure if corsa quad tips would fit.

If I had to do it again, I'd pay full price for a GT350 valance. I wish I listened to the people that said that installing the Roush valance sucked.

As stated before and in many other threads, you have to swap the bumper to get it to work without spending a ton of money getting it to work otherwise.

The Roush valance is a great option for guys with base bumpers. Premium bumpers have more options GT350 valance, Ikon Valance and MP Concepts GT350 Style valance. It took a lot of planning and modifying rear exhaust hangers.
Here's a picture of the MP Concepts GT350 Style Rear Valance, with 2018 active exhaust mufflers on a 2015 Mustang GT Premium.

That Looks really good! Was it a lot of work to get it to fit?

The hardest part was cutting the old diffuser off because there is no turning back. If you consider this an option, I would be more than happy to answer questions and send some pictures. Overall, I'm very pleased with the MP Concepts GT350 Style Rear Valance. The fit and finish was very good. The valance texture matches the side rocker and chin splitter spot on.

did you have to convert to Y pipe? or is does your muffler have two exits for two tips?

"hamzah596, did you have to convert to Y pipe? or is does your muffler have two exits for two tips?"
hamzah596,
I bought a 2018 active cat back system from M6G member (d4rk_hrs). The mufflers didn't come with active valve motors so I converted them to a varitune (adjustable) setup. It took a lot of planning and modifying rear exhaust hangers to get them to go through the valance at the right location.
