I just purchase this exhaust from CNT Racing I'm going to do a youtube sound clip and will also post dyno results I'll keep you guys posted.
This exhaust is a complete bolt on system you don't need to cut after the secondary catalytic converters. This system bolts right after the main catalytic converters or OEM downpipe.








Here is youtube sound clip

 

Love the blue tips. *jealous*

 

ya that looks pretty sweet

 

I never saw that one before. $400 is pretty cheap! I'm anxious to hear what it sounds like.

 

Looks a lot like the Q300. Waiting for sound clips after install.

 

Looks nice. stainless steel? $400.00! Sounds like an awesome deal!

 

mmm burnt tip exhaust.

 

I've never really cared for blued/burnt tips on an exhaust, but $400 is a nice bargain. Hopefully you won't run into any issues when you're installing it and I'm looking forward to that sound clip

 

Blue tips would look sweet on my laser blue car

 

I'm going to get this install in the next week or so I'll post install photo but first I need to do a baseline dyno.

 

Yes it's made with T-304 stainless I check it with a magnet it's not mild steel or cheap 409 stainless that Magnaflow use.

 

Any updates?

 

 

Yes next Wednesday.

 

if this checks out for you i will be purchasing.. it was going to cost me 400 to do a custom exhaust with a magnaflow muffler

 

andyk30... do you happen to be the actual CNT racing?.. i was looking into this exhaust and on their Facebook page they say they are going to post a video of this exhaust? just seems to match up

 

lol you couldn't tell that that was the case? When someone that you've never heard of says "I just got this exhaust", 10 to 1 it's the actual company.

 

I mean I'm not mad if its him.. I would just like to know that the company is legit.. I would purchase an exhuast like that for 400

 

So in that case.. if you are the company.. setup a group buy and go

 

Oh cat backs and the dyno... To dream!

 

Found this...no videos on MINI just on a Subie.

Here is sound clip I'll have dyno result in two weeks I already dyno my car with just a Alta performance intake system after the exhaust was installed the car response is much faster I could feel the power increase.

My number with just a Alta performance intake HP was 154-158 and torque was from 182-185 I'll post dyno sheet after I get the car dyno with the exhaust installed.

Sound clip on page one.

 

Damn that sounds pretty good. How loud is it? It's sort of hard to tell, any droning at cruising speeds? Also were you pleased with the build quality, fitment and such?

 

Sounded pretty quiet to me it seemed like he was at pretty high revs.. it sounds clean but not much different from stock imo.. then again it is a youtube video
