There are a couple one sided exhausts on the market, these come to mind.....
Alta
Quicksilver
And, the Coast to Coast dual sided titanium exhaust is 12lbs without resonator or 15 pounds with resonator. I would guess my Supertrapp and piping is heavier than that.
For me? I'm tired of the Supertrapp, it is too loud for me even with only 4 discs considering that I have headers. :-) I think I am going to get a Milltek and run it 99% of the time and then for the Solo Nationals, I will put the Supertrapp back on to save weight.

Didn't you end up with the same 5" disc SuperTrapp I have? I'm still very happy with mine as it is much quieter (6 db) than my old 4" disc Trapp and has better tone. If you did get the 5" did you get the straight piece of inlet pipe all the way in to butt up against the perforated part of the interior of the Supertrapp? Others way want to check my exasutive posts on this subject.
Yes, I sure did. I wonder if something is different between the 02-05. My 04 MCS with Alta was much quieter than my identical 05 MCS with Alta.
One thing that comes to mind that might be different, I don't have the resonator, do you? Another thing, I have a Milltek Header with highflow cat as well.

I use the 2.5" inlet and you must use a side rear exit like the Cooper. Go back and check pictures of Garfield 's car for a good idea of what it looks like unless maybe OasisT has some of his, which is an exact copy of mine and has the 5" where Garfield had the 4". Ours is a little smoother layout but the muffler is noticeably larger.

I'm running a 2.5" inlet 4" Supertrapp right now. But it's still a little loud on the street even with 5 discs (I'm running the open tip in the photo below for track use). Plus, it "hisses" quite a bit under heavy accelleration. I'm wondering if switching to a 5" Supertrapp would make a noticable difference?

There is also a 24" long, 4" disc Trapp that I've seen on a MCS, if you stayed with the OEM 2.25" inlet that could work well and you'd still have the option of splicing in a light weight resonator like my Burns, though the $$ would start to add up.

Are there any audio or video recording of how some of these configurations sound? Can you have a setup that goes out the stock center cutout in the bumper (I am guessing not but had to ask). I am also guessing that notching out on the side to have a cleaner look would not be SCCA stock legal ... but I don't know.
