Wow. All I can say. It has a definite SRT-4 sound at idle. Quite nice, very different.

It looks cool...but where is the muffler? It sounds kind of like a civic at wot! just my opinion though. There should be outlets on both sides too! It looks F***ing awesome though!

I believe that would be a straightpipe. Maybe a resonator, but I see no muffler, hence the sound.

I believe when I met with him at SS he said he's gonna do just a resonator. I didnt think it would come together so quick, thats real sweet.

I did basically the same but the exit was on the drivers side but I used a resonator on my SRT-4 and it made it sound better than straight pipe and when I sprayed and power shifted you could see the flames.
I think I would have used a Magnaflow single chamber to make it a deeper sound so it wont sound like a HONDUUH!!
Great job thou...

I had an exhaust with a similar lack in mufflers. I hope you enjoy the noise, because it's intense.

Thats bitchen! I did the same thing for my 4x4 Bronco. My exhaust kept getting crushed by rocks. Nice idea with the Mini.

Are you running no mufflers? Your car is gonna be running LEAN, and dangerous!

Far from lean. I'm actually running a little rich.

It's actually rather docile on the highway. Cruising at anywhere from 2500 - 4000 rpm is very tame.
