Very loud, I saw the pain on all the guys faces. Was this a dyno run?

Prototype 4-1 header + Heavily modified Volt exhaust system. (No cat yet on this version)

Yes, they are standard equipment

So how is the 'drone'?

What drone, I can't hear no stinking drone, the exhaust is too loud

This was a dyno run, 213 whp. SCMM dyno day 20 MINIs. 118db will put that look on your face.

Geez. Talk about waking the dead.
They were already awake that day

No flex pipe on this installation.

The system has a resonator and two mufflers, Magnaflow style.

Nice

I guess 'drone' is not a problem with the HP.

What drone, I can't hear no stinking drone, the exhaust is too loud

Nice results, are you going for more?

Sounds like mine, but maybe it's just the video but mine is deeper sounding. Magnaflow CB (one res, two mufflers) with an ALTA Catless Header! I can HARDLY hear my SC whine at WOT... yea it's LOUD.

That's louder then my FFR '65 Cobra!!!!!!! Powered by a '03 Cobra Supercharged V8 with headers into glasspack sidepipes. Altough the MINI is much higher pitched. Good WHP pull.

Loud pipes save lives

It is the M7 header that was on display at AMVIV this year.

You beat my 114 db "record" from the last dyno day. That was with a stock header and the Webb 3" exhaust. Guess I'll have to up the ante....

Bring it on

Maybe if I take out the resonator I can make 120db

Are you that bored in AR, waiting for your car to be fixed?

Good to see i'm not the only one with an obnoxious exhaust. I've got a 2.5" catless with 2 resonators. Stock manifold.

The Webb by far has got to be the loudest exhaust out there (besides custom)... I mean MINE is loud but I cannot imagine a WMS 3" plus a catless header!

The AZ (not AR, that would be Arkansas!) MINI dealer has to order parts to fix my shifter and won't get them until next week. So I am flying home and coming back next weekend to drive the car home. Not a great end to my vacation.
