would there be any interest to do a group buy on this? Would need 5+ units to start something.... Let me know.

 

do you have a link to said exhaust?

Looks expensive for some reason!

 

only 17lbs though, talk about saving some weight.

 

is there a price floating around? i agree it looks expensive. I still need to get a price quote for a magnaflow muffler +3inch piping. I went to a muffler shop today and they only do 2.5inch piping at the max.

 

Pricing and dyno plots needed nice weight savings though

 

35 bph? I'd like to see a dyno as well. This replaces the second cat, is that right? Or is it a TBE?

 

Well hopefully you find a reputable place to get it done at.

I e-mailed Quicksilver pretty much asking the basic ?'s

1. is it Cat-back, TBE, or dp down deleting 2nd cat.

2. Current price, with shipping to Miami.

3. Dyno plots.

4. And what size piping. Seems to me 2.5, but i coudl be wrong!

Awaiting a response.

 

yeah it looks nice and the wilcox car does too. the hypersport aero kit doesnt look that bad either. i hope they get back too you soon.

 

The Exhaust will cost $560 GBP shipped, so approximately $1100 shipped. at 5+ units you'll probably save $100 but I would need to finalize this. As far as i know there are no dyno plots and it's 2.5" tubing. It does delete the second cat.

Some info I found here:

so like 1k. 1500 and you could get the whole alta turbo back. the quicksilver does look nice but for a 1000 bucks not so much.

 

yeah but who's alta? and I like my exhuast to have an exhaust note

 

wow... 1k is way out of my price range... plus i cant delete the second cat due to emissions.

 

1k well that is just to much for a strait pipe a couple hangers and a muffler with some tips. Now if it was a Turbo back and cost that much .

 

blame it on the weak dollar

 

well seeing that this manufacturer also makes exhausts for super exotics like lambos... i dont think all is to blame on the weak dollar. This is just a flat out expensive (need i say overpriced) brand.

 

have to pay for experience and quaility, plus shipping cost eat up about $240. can't compare with a magnaflow that you buy from pepboys

 

So recevied this e-mail back from Quicksilver!

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]For your MINI Cooper S (Turbo), we make a stainless steel exhaust system from the 'Cat' back (no downpipe). The bore of the pipe is 2.25inches (57mm). The tip is 3inch (76mm) upswept.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]I do not have any official dyno test results but we have been told by one client that their MINI produced 192bhp @ 5860rpm on testing. This is not verified.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

ok, so messed that post up.

No before after dyno. 2.25 inch pipe (too small).

Still would go for Alta or custom made.

 

haha, yeah thats true. But the way i see it... most muffler shops offer lifetime warranties on the welds and such. Even if your 1k exhaust offers that, you still have to go through the hassle of making a claim, then sending it in for another $240.

Anyway, it is a good looking exhaust and if you get it good for you... just too much money for my blood.

 

or i'll just wait for your custom exhaust to be made and call the shop afterwards and save $500
