Thought I'd let you know MiniMania is working on a new lightweight exhaust system for the S. Here's my message I sent them, followed by their reply:
MY MESSAGE:
Don (or whoever can answer this),
When will your "exclusive" exhaust for the S be ready? I've been waiting because I don't want the extreme loudness of the Magnaflow (I have a friend who has this and wears ear-plugs while driving!). And the Quicksilver is a pretty expensive way to get 8HP. Keep me posted on when your S exhaust will come out and what the specs are.
Thanks,
Vince

HERE'S MINIMANIA'S REPLY:
Our system is being tested on the Dyno- TODAY- could have production within 2 or 3 weeks!
Don

I'm interested in how much HP this thing will add and of course what the cost will be, and I'm sure you are too or you wouldn't be reading this, so I'll repost here with any updated info. I'm sure Don, or someone from MiniMania will post something on MCO when the system's ready.

Just so you know - that "exclusive" system may be the UUC. I could be wrong - but I don't think so.

Here's the reply from minimania when I asked them if their "exclusive" system is UUC:
We worked with UUC for months and have a prototype S system but he was never able to deliver either product or pricing so we dropped him.

I talked with Jim at MIini Mania and here's the info I was able to get:

They will be offering two systems, though they aren't sure which one will be to market first. One system is the traditional two muffler, the other is a Quciksilver style one muffler - both are center exits.

The dyno runs have shown 6-7 hp gains so far.

The cost will be ballpark $700.

They expect to have a system available in around two weeks.

Hope that helps!

Randy
