Looks pricey, but i'm not sure how much for a cat-back version. Looks like you have to price it out in pieces. I love the round RS tips. Any reviews from anyone?

I have the loudest version and I love it. I'll try to get a friend to film and post sound-clips later tonight. Mine doesn't have tips right now, but I plan on putting the stock ones back on, I'm a big fan of the sleeper look.

I have nowhere to upload it. My system uses a stock center-tube that's been cut attached to a nice mandrel-bent Supersprint Y-pipe leading into "race" supersprint mufflers I bought off ebay. The mufflers are nice T304 stainless with a mirror polish so when the car's on a lift you can floss your teeth in 'em :smile: :smile:

I have the Street version SS catback and I love it too. I got it with the viper tips which IMHO are the nicest ones out there.
Go for it my friend, you can't really go wrong.

Since you guys are interested in this stuff, Ill lay out all the info on it for you:

You've got the two versions of the s exhaust here: the street and the sport. The sport is naturally the louder of the two and can be made even louder by eliminating the resonator and just using a connecting pipe.
The blue mini we have here is equipped with the sport setup and its actually fairly loud; you can hear the car driving off down the road when it leaves the shop.
If thats not your deal you could always stick with the street exhaust, its really no louder than stock. It just operates at a slightly lower register.
If you want to take a look at the design, it can be seen here ; www.supersprintna.com/exhaust/newmini/SSMiniS_system/SSMiniS_system.html

Actually, the sports system with the straight pipe, no resonator and the bmp rs tips runs about 1610.

Pricing can be viewed here:

I've got the sport w/ BMP/Promini RS tips. I absolutely love the note! Even my wife, who's not a "Car Person" noticed the "Pep" in throttle response.

There was a guy selling the mufflers and systems on ebay a while back. I bought the mufflers for $300/pair and then I bought the connecting pipe new for $150.00 from Promini with all the hardware. With the stock tips, it came out to $450 total, did the installation in the garage in a couple hours. I was going to get the Magnaflow at first, but after hearing one I felt it was a bit too boy-racer "ricey". This system is loud, but my friends say it sounds like a tuned BTCC car when I'm hauling *** and between shifts b/c she pops and burbles like crazy
