R50 Cooper Flowmaster on my R53 S. Pain in the a$$ to install, you need cooper rear valence and arch pieces. you need to modify the rear hangars on the system and it is loud. louder than this video will lead you to believe. Deep loud though not ricey.

So I recently replaced my dilapidated 03 MCS stock exhaust with the megan racing catback system. I fear I may have an exhaust leak. I read the reviews of the catback system on here and people cite the clamps (c-clamps) as being a weak spot. How can I find the correct band-type clamp to fit this system? Anyone able to link me?

Came across this on the web the other day, and I havn't been able to find any info about it on NAM.
Anyone know anything about the Fletcher System?

My custom exhaust - Autocross
http://vimeo.com/43709542
2.5" piping, Pypes M-80 Resonator, Vibrant "UltraQuiet" 2.5" muffler, Magnaflow 2.25" tips.
My downpipe/header is leaking just after the pre-cat. I smothered it with some muffler putty while I wait to fix the OBX header that I ordered.

Remus
Does anyone know if the remus mufflers are visible from behind? I think the system sounds great, but I do not want any fitment issues. In this video, it looks like the heat shield is bent to accommodate the exhaust and the muffler hangs below the rear valance, but it is hard to tell. Anyone have any experience with this? http://youtu.be/zn7_Do26DZw
Thanks...

lol, just got off the phone with a guy that runs a local muffler place, "I've been in this business for 27 years, I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER heard of this "one ball" mod". He couldn't get past that it wasn't some internet bought part, and that it was a simply bypass job.

I am curious about the (19) JIC-Magic / CROSS MINI Cooper S R53 Semi TI exhaust
19. Cross Exhaust Titanium
Review Last Updated: 8/21/08
Price: $1700
Fits: 2002 to 2006 MCS
Composes: Two-sided system, 4 pieces
Power gains:
Piping diameter: 2.36" (60mm)
Weight: 22-29 lbs
Website: http://www.cross-na.com/
Description: According to the website: "Lightweight stainless steel with special welded on Titanium Tips. Weighing in just between 22 lbs. this exhaust system is the lightest stainless steel / Titanium model on the market for the MINI. Special technology that is used during production allows Titanium and stainless steel to be welded together that gives the CROSS Sport Semi Titanium exhaust system a sporty titanium look with out the high price. [Although at $1700, I don't know what price we'd be talking about ... ED.]
Video & Audio Clips: N/A
Does anyone have this exhaust and can comment on its performance, liability or sound? I called the manufacturer and they are will to negotiate with price to almost 50% off.
Thanks

Anyone have any information or experience about the M2 catback system? I've been looking at it and seen a few idle/rev clips of it and seems like the best bang for the buck, just doesn't have the big name price tag.

I thought it would be a good idea to chime in about my experience with a muffler I installed yesterday. I have the complete setup ready for installation (OBX header, Vibrant flex pipe, Magnaflow high flow cat, 18'' Vibrant resonator and a Dynomax VT muffler), but I'm waiting for the guy with a proper welder to do the installation (all stainless). I already had the one ball mod done since the resonator was rusting, but since last autumn, the muffler started to crack open... It was melting the rear left fender well and a part of the bumper, so I decided to go ahead and install the Dynomax VT. I've got myself two reducer pipes as the muffler is 3'' (the only one with inlet/oulet center is the 3''), weld it as good as I can and I go for a test drive. I already knew that without a resonator it would be kinda loud, but the freaking valve inside the muffler... I wasn't prepared for this!!! The Dynomax VT have a valve with a spring to eliminate the drone, well... that same valve rattle when I start from a stop and on light accelerations I hear the vibration of the exhaust (the valve vibrate, so it mess with the sound. After reading (which I should've done first), I saw that it was a common problem with the VT. My first idea was to get the Super Turbo since I had it on my previous car and liked it, so I regret my decision. So if you plan on getting a Dynomax VT, I advise you against. I'll get back with an update once my whole system is done... with a Super Turbo.

The information on the pipe size of the Ireland exhaust in the summarizing post is incorrect. I just measured my old system(1.5yrs) and it measured 2.400" OD, not 2.5" as the post states. Also I would add it has some serious fitment issues especially around the resonator. The hangers hit the cross brace requiring you bend it out of the way at the front of the cross brace. The rods that go into the hangers at the resonator are too short and allow the exhaust to fall out of one of the hangers. Drilling and slotting the holes for the hangers to move them closer together solved the problem. The muffler hangers required a bunch of bending to get to fit properly as well as the tip hanger.

I have the Borla Street exhaust (see pic in OP) (it's actually called the Touring, I think, but not dying on that hill ), and, though my exhaust knowledge is limited, this model has no resonator, correct? Just the dual mufflers?
I want to get more exhaust burble and I've read that res delete is the way to go for that, but that can't be done with my exhaust. What do you guys suggest I do? Does the "one ball" thing apply to this exhaust, and can an entire muffler section be removed to get the effect I'm going for? If so, should I take out the driver's or passenger's side muffler?
