Saw this on eBay:

Check freight charge,Iseem to remember freight charge was very high.

 

I paid $1300 for the JCW exhaust on my Dark Silver car, so anything under that I can deal with.

 

Doesn't look like those mufflers/tips will fit in the stock 'S' hole.

 

They don't. The kit includes a replacement rear valance for the dual exits.

 

They dont fit the holes,they ship a new lower valence with it.If price is no object then check out the Saclam exhaust headers etc.It was posted last week.

 

I'm looking at it to, It's a Blue Flame exhaust

On sale right now was $1,295.00 Now $895.00 at

as well as this exhaust http://www.rogueengineering.com/Merc...ode=MINI.EX.CS
Price:$675.00

Shipping Weight: 70.00

 

can anyone read the numbers? my eye can not read the info. that would be the big item that make me look at it. you also have to decide if you like the way the tips look and exit. also it costs as much as any US system, and your looking at a rather large shipping bill for this item. so cost may out outweigh the looks and numbers.

 

Chad these are the number as per there webpage for the Blue Flame exhaust..

Thanks for the input guys...
agokart, I requested a email of the dyno sheet, but haven't received it yet. One of the reasons I am considering it is the fact that it doesn't exit in the factory location. The sound, fitment, and numbers will also determine if I use it or not. If all that jives, and I can get it here undamaged, i'll probably use it.

 

Are these the same exhausts? If so I think it would be cheaper and quicker to get it from the Kass place based on shipping. That is just my $.02.

 

I noticed that too. I would much rather get it shipped from Florida than from the UK. Not that I have anything against the UK.

 

They are the same, if you look at the reflection on the muff they are the same and the welds are the same + the dyno graphs are the same .......
so I would say that thay are the Same

this one is not the same

Wrks, Which system do you think you might go with?

 

I think rogue engineering.
but then i found this one :impatient

That one is nice too. I like the idea of the BlueFlame system being able "adjust " the sound.

 

This is true I stil want to hear it, and how the rear valance fit etc

 

They ship rear valance with it

 

On the Blue Flame exhaust they do
