My Mini Delta exhaust...(not 56k friendly!)

Hi guys I got my Mini Delta exhaust about 2 week ago, but haven't got time to take some pictures and clips until now.

I see that I'm probably the first on this forum to have this exhaust. Mini Delta is a Japanese Mini tuner and this exhuast is one of the items they make. I was originally planning to get the Milltek or Invidia, but because 1) I personally like Japanese exhausts more and 2) Invidia has to be modified to fit my 05 MCS, I chose Mini Delta which is Japanese and is made to fit 05's.

The exhaust sounds awesome. I would say it is moderately loud, and it has a pretty deep tone. I have heard the stock, JCW, Remus, Dinan, and Magnaflow exhausts in person, and I think mine is louder than all except the Magnaflow. Performance wise I feel that the engine is much more eager to rev, especially in the high-rpm range. However, I did have a Dinan intake fitted at the same time of my exhaust so that will have an effect too. Mini delta claims 15hp gain, but I think they are over-optimistic.

Anyways, here are some pics and sound clips. Enjoy!
Comments and feedbacks welcome!

But......the website is Japanese only

As for the price, I got a deal from a friend but I believe at retail this exhaust is not cheap. On the website it is listed at 141,750 yen, which is close to $1300USD.

I don't know about you, but to me, it looks really close to the Scorpion exhaust. Especially the S-curve bend aft of the mufflers.
