Stainless Steel

 

can i get an Invidia and the skunk2 tips and just swap em instead of paying an extra $150?

 

The Invidia tips are titanium, and are rivetted onto the exhaust, I have no idea if they can be removed or modified.

 

anybody know if Invidia will answer them, cause they didnt answer me

 

These are mp3's - change the extension and they should play properly. These sound way better thank YouTube clips of the Invidia exhaust.

Enjoy!

 

Here are 3 more...

 

Dude these are text files not audio files..try again....btw I just got the invidia as well, what an amazing sound!! I put it on monday and haven't turned my radio on since!! LOL
Get an Invidia!!!! and if you have a blue car YOU HAVE TO GET IT the look is like none other

 

One more time... change filename.txt to filename.mp3 and they play. Open them with your fav. media player.

 

oh sorry about that, I missed the little piece about changing the extension...thanks for the clips!!

 

...are now in my gallery here.

theres mine.. lol doesnt sound as ricey in person

megans with magnaflow/resonatordelete

 

I just got a TC Sportline exhaust installed yesterday. Yeah, it's an 'ebay exhaust', but it sounds great and there's a nice power increase. Anyone looking for a low buget exhaust should look into this system or the Megan system. Total was a little over $500 including installation. See my review thread for more info

As for any exhaust sounding ricey on the MCS... every exhaust will sound a little ricey. I mean, it's a 1.6L engine! You're not going to get it to sound perfect with such low displacement. Getting a header as well as a catback might change the sound though.

 

wow.

 

???

 

John Cooper Motorsport 4-2-1 Manifold (header), JC Motorsport low res CAT with JC Rear Silancer (what they run in the UK Mini Challenge) Also running 15% Alta Pulley and Alta V2 CAI





P.S. sorry for the poor quality vid.. was taken on me phone

 

Does anyone have a sound clip of the 3.0" Alta catback?

 

I'd also like to hear that. I've heard the Alta sound is much different from the rest of the cat-backs.

 

Even more curious to hear Alta Headers into a 2.5 or 3.0" Alta Exhaust (cat-back)

 

Is the exhaust on the GP the exact same exhaust as the JCW Exhaust? i heard a sound clip of a GP somewhere, and it sure sounded nice, better than I expected from a JCW Exhaust. Just wondering is I could expect the same sound from an MCS with the standard JCW exhaust added.

 

I hear that this system is no longer being manufactured. Does anyone know how or where I might be able to get my hands on one? Thanks.

 

Does anyone have or know where I would be able to find some sound clips or feed back on the palo uber system. i like the look of having the pipes on the side so its down to the Blue Flame and the Palo Uber, but i can't find to much on the palo system. Someone else already spoke of the Blue Flame earlier in this thread. Any help is much appreciated..

 

have you tried calling over there and seeing if they had any???

 

Thinking of getting a custom exhaust on my R53 S and wanted some opinions on how i should proceed.
Thinking of doing a one muffler setup with a magnaflow exhaust kind of like the dinan setup.

Anybody here tried that? I have searched and found couple of sound clips on custom jobs but not much. hoping the muffler guy can do a good mandrel bend. Plus should i get a resonator or not?

Feedback Appreciated. Thanx NAMers

 

I was out driving in LA two days ago on Beverly near the Beverly Center and saw a sweet all blacked out Mini drive by. It had a great looking exhaust and I've been looking all over for it since. I just finished 14 pages here and didn't see it.

It looked like a sideways number '8', without the middle cross section. Or said another way, two slightly overlapping circles joined together. Anyone know what that is? It could have just been tips I suppose, but it looked great.

Thanks,

Picked up a brand new Invidia exhaust for my '05 MCS. Install was straightforward. No instructions--not like I needed any. Only thing I wasn't sure was that the tips have a tab that seems to align them, but there wasn't a bolt or any kind of fastener to hold them together. Was something forgotten?

Took me about 3.5 hrs--30 minutes to remove OEM exhaust and 30 minutes to remove straps from hangers, lol, an hour to put it all together and struggle under the MINI getting things into place, only to realize I put one piece upside down.

Used an air ratchet where I could and that sped the install and relieved effort substantially--a lift would have reduced the time dramatically as would have a second pair of hands, and the fact I just came off a 12 hour detail didn't help, but I was too excited NOT to install it.

First time I fired her up still on the jack stands-lots of smoke, but a beautiful purrr and aggressive growl. Doesn't sound stock at all at any point--tone is deeper than OEM. Feels great in conjunction with my 16% pulley and Alta Intake.
