Couldn't help myself and ordered the Maxton V3 valence today planning to swap to quad tips.
Now the next part is figuring out which quad tips would work, have to ask the my tuner if they can modify the single backbox outlet to fit quad tips for the new valence cutout space.
Thinking about this look: https://exhaustpartsuk.com/product/amg-style-twin-ovalquad-stainless-tailpipe-trims/
But it's a Y style so would have to do an angled cut to fit it correctly. Or maybe it's possible to modify the backbox so the location is more further towards the middle of the back of the car.
Another option would be a T/H style split but those are usually unbalanced for exhaust gas visibly coming more from the straight tip. Although there's a "balanced" version with some diverter/equalizer like this: https://exhaustpartsuk.com/product/...lpipe-quad-staggered-w-perforated-holes-copy/

If the backbox can be modified maybe I should instead think about having extra pipe installed onto the backbox so I can have individual clip on tips instead of a custom weld of the whole assembly.

Overall im still stumped as to which is the best option. Anyone done something similar with the original dual oval exhaust? I'm not sure what it's like inside. Looking at Maxtons youtube tutorial on installing the valence I can see it's being fitted on the exact same copper badge ST as mine, but that already has quad tips with 2 pipes per box so it's likely the R variant which came with quad tips. I'm not sure about the backbox internals in comparison.
I've already checked @nd-photo.nl threads also and still decided on wanting quad tips I can't help it :p The measurements and pictures add up and I have the same original setup.

I believe I can install the valence with the original dual tips just there's a larger cutout initially until I get the quad setup figured out.
 
I had a quad tip AMG setup, but on my Mercedes haha 😜 I just wanted something different on the Cupra (hence my choice), but the quad setup looks very good on the Leon MK3 👌

This is what the backbox is like on the Cupra R and Carbon edition ones. It has 2 pipes coming out of both backboxes. Essentially if I could find a matching backbox it could also work. I believe golfs also had it but usually used ones are going with the entire exhaust system and also not cheap.
