Finally ordered a couple of performance mods for

my 03' MC. Ordered a Sebring-Racing Dynamics muffler and an ITG foam drop-in air filter from myminiparts.com.

Info at the www.myminiparts.com website or, for the muffler, better pictures at:

http://www.racdyn-usa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=130.00.72.21 6&Category_Code=

Better price at mymini.

Hope I like the mods, a total of $330 is a lot of bucks to me. If anyone is interested I'll repost my opinion of these items later after installing them.

Since MC mods are very much in the minority on NAM, I would think it would be very appreciated if you could report the results of your modifications, when done, for the benefit of the other MC drivers.

Right now, the performance mods section of NAM is quite obviously lopsided in favor of the MCS.

So help even it out, by letting us all know what you think of your new mods!

I'll be waiting to hear what you think of the Sebring-RD exhaust. It should be very good quality and looks like a heck of a deal.

That's strange, I know he carries a Playmini exhaust for the S, but didn't know he had one for MCs. I also don't see it listed on his site....unless it's there but he just didn't put the Playmini name in the description.... If it's either the sports or touring, there are a few descriptions in threads here on NAM. Neither of them look like the exhausts listed on the Playmini site either.

The PlayMini exhaust are not on the website, but he has a few with both the "TT" and the slash cut exhaust tip. After several iterations my final order was a MyMini touring system, complete with resonator. Sorry if I confused you....after several changes I settled on the MyMini touring sytem as described on Pete's website. Hopefully I'll have it by Friday.

Cool, the Mymini touring is at the top of my exhaust candidates list. Tell us what you think and post some sounds if you can after you get it installed.

I'll let you know what I think. I don't want it to be much louder than stock, just a little deeper tone and, if I'm lucky, 2-3 HP.
