Anyone see or hear anything about this exhaust? It's from NewMINI Cooper.com.

Exhaust sounds

It sounds fantastic although the audio quality is poor. Check it out.

I wish they'd redo the layout of the site for browsing their products. It's really ridiclous to have three pages of wheels when there's only one wheel on each page. Then they have two pages of exhaust 1st page has a few items listed then the 2nd page has only one. Makes it really hard to look thru things. I hope you're listening newminicooper.com !

That's from the Play-Mini.com website. It comes from the Scorpion exhaust for MCS. Check out the other threads in the next pages for Scorpion exhaust

Agreed about the poor layout.
One word about audio and video clips.
It doesn't always accurately reflect the true sound.
Last night I was showing my exhaust sound to someone and I started up the car cold
and the idle noise was loud.
Then after the car warmed up a bit the noise level dropped a lot and it was fairly quiet.
So if you video when the idle is running on a cold engine vs warmed up engine it would make
a five fold loudness difference.
Just a word of caution when evaluating audio clips.

That really does sound sweet, but still, most of these exhausts are pricey. I'd go with the Flow for 25% less.

Oh yea, and the website layout is miserable. Take a page from Randy's website, very easy to browse.

I agree, the website looks very cheap... the exhaust, too expensive for an unknow brand.
