MinSpeed Touring Exhaust

I just bought the Touring Exhaust from Minspeed. I got mine non-resonated. Let me tell you, IT SOUNDS AWSOME!! I attached a clip but it sounds much deeper and has a more of a 'rumbly' tone. as you can hear it does have a nice burble too. The install was extremely easy. And it weights only e something like 26lbs.

This is not mine, but it looks the same, only better.


If any one knows where I can upload the WAV file, please let me know.

Off topic, but I checked out snake road, and it is quite fun! I enjoyed myself very much.

I installed the MyMini touring exhaust over a year ago and it's great. Mine has the resonator and perhaps would be a bit quiet for some people, but it has a very deep, powerful sounding tone. I wanted to make sure there was no resonance at freeway speeds.....there isn't.

A little, but I think it's more of a feeling like the engine can breathe better.

P.S. I had my car Dynoed at the Minspeed dyno day, 111whp. Thats with the exhaust, Sceamin Deamon Coil, Cool Wires, Bosch Platinum +4, and the K&N Drop in. Also on a hot Florida day

I would consider that to be impressive considering they are only rated at 115 at the crank, stock. Add in hot, humid Florida air and its a good showing.

Megan did make a nice exhaust for the MC. I think he sold all of them, to another company thou. the few of us who have them are quite happy with them.
