Shouldnt... Its freeing up the exhaust flow.. Baisically the same as putting a magnaflow on there. Should have pics in a couple hours.. Just now finishing it up..

Not much you can do about, it's just how these motors sound...

At first I was thinking it was going to be a side exit exhaust out the front bumper or something. I had one like that on my last car.

I agree - too "ricey". Sounds like most all of the "fart can" Civics in my area. However, I love the looks of it.

I know that guy with the car in the video, AstroBlackS. His car is LOUD as hell. Not my type of sound (sorry Frank!) but a nice looking job overall. It was done by Tyrolsport in NYC.

this is the dual exit before it was heat wrapped









this was the only way to route the pipng to avoid scrubbing the ground..sorry for bad quality pics they were taken by phone...definatly not an exhaust for someone who wants to be subtle...

Smell sumptin' burning? Keep an eye out for melting side skirts.

Well executed! Did you notice any low end power loss?

My suggestion: keep your Mini stock, and buy a mid-year Corvette with side exhaust. Big blocks especially recommended.
