700 USD for a catless downpipe?!?! who the hell are they kidding?!

 

Well due to the difference between UK and USA Spec Mini.
None of the exhaust system designed and manufactured outside of US is going to work....

So US folks are back to square one, with the exception of VIPCUSTOMPARTS.....

 

They are working on the US version and hope to have it soon, we will let everyone know the minute they are avail. as we have already ordered them.

 

Thats good to hear!! As i have ordered a system from you!!

 

and so have I! - looking forward to it

 

Alright so.... All the Euro exhaust manuf is scratching their head on the V band connection.
I think the best bet is to get the JCW Exhaust lol.... It will probably be the earliest option we have..

It does look good and sound great - I just can't justify the cost that Mini want for the exhaust, and honestly I think it's a bit steep compared to the cost of the whole car. Doesn't stop me wanting it though - man maths!!......

 

I havent heard a sound clip of the JCW yet.
However if you take other manuf in considerations.
Such as Remus , Supersprint, Intelligent Frequency. The price isnt that bad.
I wonder if i could get some sort of discount for that exhaust from my local Mini Dealership since i work at a dealer myself lol.

 

There are some short sound clips on YouTube of the JCW exhaust

 

I will look that up on youtube in abit....

Hey anyone know why Waymotorworks have the Milltek at under $500?
When Griffinmotorwerk is selling for 1k....?

Such a huge difference in pricing???

 

Possibly one includes more pieces

 

Hello from Greece!! i have just installed the milltek non-resonated cat-back system in my mini. later i will post some videos!!

 

Found a short video of the Milltek system (non-resonated)

That's mine car!! Great exhaust sound! I can say it is similar to the remus with the valve open.

 

Sounds great - thanks for uploading the video. Glad I ordered the same one as you. Just waiting for the US-spec version....

 

Yes it is awesome. So many pops..!! I will upload another better video tommorow.

 

Well i am the first person in the US to test fit the Miltek unit.
I currently having my Milltek front pipe to get the full marmon and welded on so it would bolt up to factory Downpipe.

I then will be providing Milltek the right size flange so they can get the US spec development started.

 

Thanks for the update!
