Well, I guess technically any non-factory modifications to the exhaust are actually illegal. I figure a muffler swap is less "invasive" than a header/second cat/resonator mod (where the real gains are). I'm hoping for some deeper growl and not too much attention while cruising.

In NYS, you need at least 1 cat to pass inspection too. I was really set on getting new "racing" headers until I read up on the laws. :sad:
The one I showed a picture of is for an MC, I'm not quite sure what the MCS headers look like. But the Stratmosphere website's header setup was probably for an R50 or an older model. |

I've never looked under the hood of "S". I take it their header comes off the opposite side of the engine then the Non "S"? The one above still looks a bit restrictive to me. Does it really make much of a defference?

Yes it it and you should still pass emissions with the second removed since only the first is monitored by the ECU.

I checked with VIP Custom and they are working on an exhaust for the Clubman and R56 MC. The one they have for the "S" sounds good from the sound clip on their web site. I like their stuff, so I'm waiting for this to be available.

I heard from them last week, here is what they said word for word, "It will still be sometime before we can sell them, I can not give you a date , but will update you in two weeks." I am still waiting to see what they have to say for it. So far they have kept me informed with info about it.:thumbsup: better than what i've heard about Riss and the R56s parts that have been put out lately.

No problem. Im still looking for other companies but I'll keep with them, they've actually kept me posted with updates on it.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: which is a great thing.

I guess I fell out of their loop. I have been happy with the VIP items I have ordered and don't want to turn heads with the sound. I live in the country and the police in the small towns I go through can't exactly mistake my car for all the others just like it. :nod:

Just got a email from VIPCUSTOMS about when they were going to release their Catback for the non -s this is what they said.
"The production versions are on hold until some needed tooling for our mandrel bender comes in from the manufacture, they keep delaying us. Thank you for your patience. We will contact you asap. VIP" I'll keep the info coming when i get it. But I just ordered my exhaust myself and will hopefully have it and put on within the next few weeks. Total custom piping and a universral magnaflow muffler. |
