M!N!-ME your link doesn't work. Here it is...

 

RMW Street Header and Street Exhaust.

 

Now I like that right there!!! I'll go a take a similar video, cuz I have no clue what the 3" sounds like sitting still. Damn, I can't wait to get the street header to mate up to mine now. Its gonna sound crazy j/k...lol

 

On the K5Cruiser video, does anyone else hear a high pitched ringing? I can't hear anything much else, honestly...

 

I hear it too but in the background, sounds like belt noise

 

Thats the Arqray exhaust.

Hello, everyone!

I have a R53S and I am thinking of making a change in the exhaust so-called "ONE BALL," but I have doubts that is as follows, is that I will lose speed edge, since I delete a pot that does backpressure.


Thank you,

 

Nope not an issue the stock exhaust is restrictive enough that a one ball actually helps. With all things equal between my wife's car and mine except my 2% crank pulley vs her 0% and her Invidia and my stock exhaust I can tell you there is quite a bit of power lost to the stock exhaust especially top end. Hers pulls easily to and over 130 mine works to get there with the pulley advantage. Off the line and 30-50 (3rd gear) I'm a touch quicker. (all speed comparisons done on a closed course)

 

Here's video of my '03 MCS with Milltek header and catback at the recent MINI 5280 dyno day.

Just got my Borla Sport/Race on yesterday. It doesn't sound exactly like the one on youtube, IMO its better. Deeper sounding...probably something hard to camera microphones to pick up. Also, weighed it before putting it on...quite light for a dual at 27.00 lbs

I'll also be weighing my stock exhaust friday as I've seen everywhere from 41lbs to 48lbs for the stock behemoth. I'll find out once and for all :D

 

Hi Folks,
Just installed an Invidia a week ago on our R53.
It was great until yesterday. Now it is much louder and is definately causing vibration that can be felt in the car at low RPMs. Anythoughts on if this is a droning problem? From reading this thread it sounds like others have had great experiences with the Invidia. Any comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SSpiper

 

Check the bolt that hold the tips apart first. check the battery box heat shield and make sure it isn't touching. then check anything else that bolts or hangs.

 

Stock exhaust weighs 48lbs. No vid yet.

 

My bad, nothing wrong with the Invidia.
It was touching the heat shield.. That is corrected and it once again sounds great.
Cheers,
Brad

 

Here's a link to my 2004 MCS (prefacelift) with a Janspeed decat Header with Borla Race Catback setup.

Sorry bout the quality of the vid, took it with my Sony Xperia X1 phone...

 

That's loud but mean

 

thanks....but the vid doesnt do it justice....its a hell of a louder then the vid...and I LOVE IT!!! hehehe scared lil kids and animals from a country mile away..

 

If you have ever heard a loud vehicle and then heard it on a video you can appreciate how freakin loud your car is...OH MY GOD! You can hear the raspiness, the sound of the metal just vibrating to all hell!! Wow that thing is ridiculous seriously!

 

I know!!! Its wonderful!!! hahhhaha...you should look of people's faces when the sound comes from miles away..and suddenly they see a lil yellow Mini..classic!!!! Even the Evos and Subaru club are shocked..Brilliant

 

No more....

 

Yes, agree, there are a bunch of one ball posts in this thread. Just do a search on them. No problems with a one ball modification.

 

Safety is an issue as well. I've got one of the defunct Volt exhausts, and I burned myself badly on it since it sticks out too far (got the round scar to prove it). My 12 YO daughter almost did the same but she had on pants else it would have burned her as she was getting her book bag out in the drop off line at school.

Exhausts that stick out near the trunk are a hazard!

 

Yea, sorry, maintenance is my job and it has been low on the list.

Easily my favorite exhaust. That sounds SICK.
