hi everybody and thanks for this great treath!
Very usefull indeed it helps me to cut some dubts of mine on exhaust.

I'm Michele from Italy and I'm looking for a new exhaust for my cooper S 2002 and
Still I got final choice to make...I am considering borla race or alta sport tone.
Lots was written on borla less, I think, on alta sport tone (or maybe my poor english is loosing something).
Also from your signature I realised that most got milltek or borla. I did not find any alta in them.

I searched the net and I didn't find any important comments on alta sportone...except the official description.

I'm asking you further information about alta sport tone...why you suggest to choose it and why not. pros and versus of both exhaust.

thanks in advance

Michele

 

I didn't see any videos for the Dinan exhaust...anyone have one?
Thanks

 

I second that, need Dinan video clips!

 

Here are some files of the Borla exhaust, as many people have requested.

Isn't that the Stg 4 Monster Mini Cooper S?

 

I have no clue...I've never even heard of the Stg 4 Monster MINI...I got these from here I believe....I just re-hosted them because people wanted to hear them, the links were down, and so I thought I would be a nice gentlemen and post up for other's to hear!

Is there a difference in doing a One-ball conversion on a cabrio? Is there a pipe you can bolt on? John

 

I installed the Alta exhaust on my MCS, and in my opinion it is unparalled.I have installed MANY performance exhaust systems in my time on many cars, and the quality and fit and finish is phenomenal! I definitely made the right decision on this system.

 

This is the single sided one, right? How is the tone? Any droning at freeway speeds?

 

I wish I could have the same system but with the option of having only one straight outlet pipe like on the Cooper non "S", I sometimes wonder how much restriction those sharp hairpin elbows do.
I've been watching for a non S MINI exhaust but they are always 2.25" but cost a lot less, I'd hate to pay $700 and cut the pipe coming out of the muffler, but I sure like the Alta system.
I wouldn't mind buying a non S bumper skirt and have it come out like the base MINI.

 

Ohhhhhhhhh, your in for it now! You said base MINI!!!!!

Someone call Todd, Gabe, and DB!!

 

HAHAHA.... "You're listening to the world-famous whiteroofradio." bouw bouw bouw bouwbananouw hahah

 

Here is a short video of our exhaust on the blue Cosworth car. You can hear the differance between the modified Borla on my car.

Randy, You all have any kind of ETA on that exhaust? I just paid myself some cash for painting my house instead of paying someone else to do it So... I am in the market for a set of exhaust and header now!!!

Fantastic thread, I learned alot.

Thanks

 

Randy, is that run in the video the one you refer to as the one close to your house that you've been on hundreds of times? In other words, the unofficial test course for M7 products?

 

Yes that was one of the closely guarded secret M7 test facilities.

I don't know if this has already been posted, but here's the Larini exhaust that MINIWORKS sells. The video is over 6 min long.

i think m7 sold me on there cosworth package with that video
but the only downside is that i have to wait 3 years before ill be able to get it and to enjoy it

 

You guys will love the new M7 exhaust. I've had mine for over a month and love it. Its on the loud side. I got the last proto from Peter at the last AMVV event in March. I've been quite all this time cause I told Peter I wouldn't say anything about it on NAM. I do have a nice closeup video clip of the exhaust and can post if its ok with Peter or Randy at M7.

 

Be our guest I am glad that it is to your liking and thanks for the support.

No problem Randy.
BTW, Where can I put my video file? Its about 11 megs. Or I can make a smaller version.

 

Where is that exhaust, I keep reading about it on various posts but it's not on their web site and I still haven't seen any pictures of it.

 

I ordered the M7 exhaust earlier this week! I can't wait!
