Drivetrain Anyone interested in a group buy of a Miltek catback system for MCS
Does anyone know where I can find a sound clip of the non-S milltek? I've searched all over NAM and Mini2 and can't find anything.
I just can't buy something I haven't heard
So, we've been working on this about a week, you CAN hear the difference between a stock S muffler and a Miltek S muffler, Randy tells you that the difference (tone) with the Cooper is similar to the difference with the S, you are the fourth to say you're committed to buying one, and NOW you decide that you can't buy it without hearing it?

Please take me off this list. Have had two flats this week which have cut into my modding budget. All these roofers are here because of the hurricane, so now there are millions of nails on the road. I'm sorry for any inconvience this has caused.
Miltek Group Buy List Is Open, Again
We are two shy of the 15 we need for the $95+ discount. Randy will be posting a confirmation of all those from whom he has received faxes.
First come, first served for these last two places. Fax Randy as per instructions in my first post. Thanks to all of you who have honored your commitment to the group.

Did any of you who are asking to be scratched off the list already fax me?
I have 12 faxes, and I have already committed and paid for the systems. I would appreciate a little help here!
Thanks,
Randy

The sound is not any noisier than stock, but deeper sounding. I hope that helps!

The way I look at it, you, and the others who reneged on your commitments, owe each of those who didn't $25 bucks, a piece. So, 12 X $25 = $300. $300 divided by 7 = $42.85. Do you want to send it to me or directly to Randy?
There should be a registry of those people banned from posting to any group buys.

For one, this is the first time I had to back out of such a commitment, so give me a break. Two, there appears to be more people interested than there are units in the lot purchased, I took into consideration that someone will be available to fill in my spot before I unfortunately had to back out Had there not been I would have stayed on even though it would have been a hardship for me. And third, suggesting I be banned from all group buys because of this only hurts the community as a whole. Why? Say there is a group of 10 needed to put forth a buy but only 9 people so far have signed on and the deadline is approaching. Even if it is something I am willing to buy, my only contribution would be to flip the bird to the whole deal. Your loss, not mine.
You wont have to worry about me in any future group buys that you are going to set up. I wont even consider them even if it's something I am in the market for.

Randy: Please charge me full price!
Hey Randy,
I'm still in even if you have to adjust the price to compensate for the problems caused by last minute drop outs. Actually I think your catalog price for the system is fair and I do appreciate what you've done for the members of NAM. See you @ MINI vacation!..............................mgg
