Twinky,
Sure I have a Quicksilver. I like it. Good things about it-
Low weight- about 21 pounds and only for the MCS.
Louder than Borla street but not louder than Magnaflow
More torque in the midrange to higher range RPM about 4000-6000
Doesn't drone.
I like the oval tip but dual tips are availabe
$799 isn't cheap. Find a used one if you can.
Easy to install. Bolt on cat-back unit in three pieces.
Need to have someone hold the tip at the end to align it just right while you tighten the unit up- this aids in hanging it correctly due to the weight being on one side and the tip being in the center.
I get lots of compliments about it.

I couldn't get the video that you linked to to play, but here is a folder index (from mcshp) that has four video clips of the quicksilver. Very cool!

Those clips are recorded in an parking lot that creates a very nice effect and I must say, parking everyday in a similar structure, the quicksilver sounds extremely badass (like the movie!). And for the regular outdoors, it's just slightly deeper than stock, just enough for pedestrians and others to look at a MINI a little bit longer than usual when they can hear a nice exhaust tone. And if you like to go ***** out with it, you'll have people letting you know how nicely you just blew them away both visually and audibly. :smile:

 

>>Those clips are recorded in an parking lot ...

I agree and if you want even more exahust note then add a header. You do get more power but the loudness is more as well. Be careful if the loudness is a factor for you. By the way you can control the loudness a bit by controlling throttle. I can drive the car quietly if I want or make more noise. After the header I did notice that it is quite loud around 40 to 45 mph and very quiet at 60-65 due to the gear I'm in and the rpm. So pick your gear and enjoy the ride.

very nice! ill have to get one soon! ne 1 know where i can find 1 used?

 

Check with RandyBMC sometimes people want the newest exhaust like the UUC and want to sell the old one.
He can keep and eye out for you since people call him all the time.
Or place a wanted post on MCO's marketplace.
Or check with your local MINI club to see if anyone has the QS and might want to move up to the UUC and sell.
Good luck.
