Anyone have a photo and/or sound file of a MagnaFlow installed on a Cooper NA?

Seems like a good unit that makes ponies, and the price is favorable, but I cannot stand that ricer fart can tip.

I'd like to see/hear an installed unit to find out how much it screws up the rear end look and how the sonics are.

== SIDEBAR ==

I just went to the Magnaflow website, and they have files for your listening pleasure BUT, only for VW, Miata and Acura RSX.

Ripped off, I tell ya.

I have the Magnaflow on my Cooper and I think its great. I just took out my intake and I dont even notice that I have an exhaust system anymore, its not that loud at all in the car! It was definatly a lot louder with the intake and exhaust. My MINI really has more power with the exhaust too especially over 4000rpms.

As for the ricer fart can tip I kinda liked it, probably one of the reasons I got it. It doesn't stick out at all so you cant really see it but I wish it did so you'd be able to read the Magnaflow logo on the tip. If you guys are in So Cal and are goin to any meets I'll probably be there if you want to hear it, it sounds awesome.

I have a magnaflow on my 1988 M3 and the drone kills me. It is very loud in the cabin. The sound under acceleration is good though. Overall, it is OK for short trips but definitely not long ones.
