performance parts?

hey guys i just got my brand new (to me) mini cooper s. Its an 07 and i was wondering what exhausts systems and intakes are good for my new mini becuase im planning on putting some nice goodies on it. I know that since it is a new car performance parts have not been mass-produced yet but i was wondering what some of you guys have on yours?

i was also wondering if you guys think the stuff on this site is good

Yes..the items on that site are good.. If you click the vendor directory on the left, they are our sponsors as well.
This may help, I just came across it last night:

Yeah, Alta is pretty much the #1 choice for aftermarket performance parts!

Go ALTA, or go home IMO. Not only are their parts top quality and make great power, you won't find a vendor on NAM with better customer service.

Hands down the best performance company I have ever done business with.

PGT: Be nice now! Let's not be stirring the pot over here my friend! But seriously, if there is ANYTHING I can do to help YOU out PLEASE let me know. Also, are you thinking to finally bite the bullet and move to the R56? I see you trolling in this end of the pond more frequently these days!

Anyway, have a great weekend!

I recomend the Borla Exhaust cause it sounds kick ***. I have this planned for my Mini.

ALTA has the gains for their system posted both here on NAM and on their website.
10WHP & 10 ft-lbs of torque for the catback, and an additional 10-12WHP & 10 ft-lbs of torque on top of that with the downpipe (making a turboback)

Don't forget any local exhaust shops who could build you a custom one to your own specs
