Bad Mini what size tips are those? I am getting 3.5" tips and am unsure they will fit in the gap....

Had one installed 10 days ago, sounds good. I do get a hint of "drone" when I hit 70 @ 3000 RPM. I looked at other kits (Miltek etc) but heard horror stories about fitment. Magnaflow is a well known company with excellent quality control, installed in about 30 minutes. And if you do get drone (subjective) you could always add a resonator.

I've been posting this video a lot, but here is that exhaust with the RR downpipe

video quality isn't great, but you get the idea.
The only complaint I had was the new exhaust smell :P but that's expected with every exhaust...

Hey Powashiftin-
I got it from Ebay (top seller) and he hooked me up with a $200 discount. If you want that deal, private msg me...i can probably e-mail him and then connect him to you. By the way, i live in upstate NY (albany)...go NY'ers!

To be honest, theres a good chance its going to drone.
Minimota, report back in a few thousand miles, I want to see if you think its any worse.
At first mine didn't drone, but once the heat cycles pack down the material within the muffler/resonator, it becomes much more straight through of exhaust flow, and @ 2.5" you'll prob start to get more drone. Its unfortunate, and terrible for highway trips with a gf in the car, but you'll learn to modulate the throttle enough that unless you're heading up a big hill, you can usually keep it pretty quiet.
On a positive note, its definitely one of the best sounding setups for the MINI imo that i've heard. Great attention getter too if those are your intentions.
I'm running a 2.5" pipe from the DP back, magnaflow 20" x 4" round straight stainless steel muffler (resonator) in the same location the JCW has it, followed by magnaflow single 2.5" center inlet, dual 2.25" outlet, 24" 5x8 oval stainless steel muffler, to two 4" stainless magnaflow tips.

I saw this video last week and this was one of the videos that sold me to buy a magnaflow compared to others out there. Thanks man!
According to Fedex, i should be getting mine today and getting it put on tomorrow.
