FS: Rouge Cat-back for MC

I realize that this is not the marketplace forum, but considering the size/weight of this thing, local pick-up/drop-off is really the only option.

What it is: A used Stainless Steel Cat-back exhaust made by Rogue Engineering for 02-06 MC. All pipes have been welded together so it is one piece, roughly 7' long, weighing approximately 25-30 lbs. It installs using the factory hangers and did not require any adjustment to line up with the stock position. I have the bolts and gasket required to bolt it to the factory header.

I had it installed and removed by MINI Yaletown's service department for ~$50. It was installed in late 2004 and removed in early 2006. I loved it, she didn't, so it came off. With my K and N intake the sound was awesome, especially through tunnels!! I don't have any data to back it up, but I swear that my butt-dyno noticed a difference in power.

I've traded my MC for an MCS and just want to get it out of my storage unit. $100.00 obo, picked-up or delivered (distance within reason). It will fit in the car without any passengers, I've done it a couple times.

Thanks for looking.

Well, I finally installed the cat-back after having bought it from MiniBlue several months ago. I was waiting for my oil service, which I do every
5-7000k.

I like the sound and the car feels faster.

Get this, I've been complaining about my revs dropping upon going into drive in the morning and every time I stop at a light or stop sign. I received a new tranny and the problem lessened but was still there, especially in cold weather. I got the exhaust installed Monday and my revs are nice and stable. Maybe the car just needed a bit more air. I will definitely keep an eye on this.

Haven't had a really good chance to play as I'm in rush hour both ways for work. Did a little bit and the car really seemed faster. Might be a bit loud on acceleration but sure sounds sweet on cruising speed.

Thanks MiniBlue.
