He is on a stock dp isnt he? This exhaust with my Catless dp will be perfect.

Plus the look of it a lone looks better than stock

My custom Magnaflow system was over $500.00. The muffler is the only piece that is stainless. This sound like a great band for the buck.

His DP does a good job of keeping that car quite. My Catless DP and stock catback are much louder than this, but paired i think i would have a great sounding car that would scream at WOT haha.

It's not that loud during normal driving but if you gas it the car sound so good.

I'm working on a better video for everyone, fitment is great, welds are good and I love this 4 inch dual tip.

I'm not CNT Racing I promise to do a write up for them to get extra discount. CNT Racing is paying for the dyno time tho.

let me tell you dyno results from a catback are not going to happen.. maybe with a TBE (turbo back) = tune. But just a catback isnt going to do anything.

lol HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!~


Sorry but you can barely get those results with a turbo back.

It is a nice exhaust dont get me wrong but i dont believe that for one second... maybe some suckers will, just like the intake hp gain followers but anyone whom knows these cars and for that matter dynamic tuning of any turbo motor will know that those gains are not realistic.

Agreed.. 75% of exhaust restriction is in the down pipe and stock cat..

Cat backs are purely nose makers like BOVs.. lol

Good lord....

Chris (silhouettte88) mentioned to me the other day that NAM is becoming like The Onion...lol I think this proves his point.

For an exhaust that appears to almost be a direct copy of the Invidia, I can assure you that your "gains" are BS. Sorry, it looks and sounds good, but no sense in trying to convince us or yourself that you gained 20 at the wheels from it.

Also, more importantly than the BS dyno results....I would love to see your AFR curve, you look to have some detonation issues by the looks and sounds of the 3rd video. Evident by it dumping fuel in two distinct places.

this exhaust is going for a great price. I am not looking for more HP. I want some nice sound. Has anybody other than andyk30 tried it out? And andyk30 it's been a while now how do you still like it? any rust?

Any issue fitting it in the lower plastic bumper where the tip are? I have a different valance than andyk30 in the picture

I hope this video will answer your question my car don't have the lower plastic bumper but this exhaust will fit a Mini with the lower plastic bumper.
