Sounds nice. Sounds strong under acceleration.
Looks nice. Like the discoloration on the tips.

+1. My uncle had a KTM with tips like that. I couldn't find any price/ order info though. Shipping from Japan would be $$$ I would think.

The one shown in the picture is the titnium tail version with the center pipe. The price I quote you was for the muffler section. Center pipe is sold separately. I have listed pricing and pics of the center pipe below.

Arqray R56 Mini Cooper-S Stainless Center Pipe:
Part # - 8400CP14
MSRP - $700.00
Total cost for muffler and center pipe - $1560.00

This is the cost landed to our warehouse in Santa Fe Springs, CA.

Im guessing the exhaust with titanium tips (like the OP showed) would be ~$1000 US so it would be $1700 for the titanium tip and center pipe + shipping costs

looks pretty, but that is the tamest sounding exhaust I have ever heard....sorry, but even if it gave good performance numbers it's way to weak sounding... if you like your car to be quiet and geriatric like go for it...just not my cup o' tea...esp. for $800 bucks!

The pipes appear to have the same diameter as OEM. The sound is nice but the cost is way too high for American market. Is it cheaper in Korea (not having to be ship so far)?

haha, i thought it sounded decent but definitely tame compared to say... a custom 3" magnaflow setup. Not to mention... the 800 is JUST the muffler and tips i believe... the rest of the piping was another 700 bucks.

That is interesting. The stock exhaust in Korea has the US type secondary catalyst.

That system would not be "legal" in the US without the addition of the proper catalyst to match the OEM.

LOVE THE TIPS! Super Sexy!

The exterior sound was okay, but they need to do some more work acoustically to dial out that annoying interior drone. For this kind of cash, it's gotta be perfect.
