well here its is folks....

complete with sound byte(car was stationary):

http://leftsideproductions.com/sams%20stuff/exhaust.mp3












though the crappy mic wont do it justice... the sound is actually very low in tone.


"That's the second loudest MINI I've heard." Peter Horvath, M7

"That sounds like an M3." Matthew Aiken, car afficianado

"What the hell is going on under there?" Ivan Diaz, µ



the whole system weighs in at 10 lbs... this is from the muffler back. with the drycell operation and lack of rear seats.... this puts the rear end approx 100lbs lighter than stock.

30 lbs stock exhaust difference
21lbs drycell difference
10lbs battery box and shrouding difference
30lbs rear seats difference
08lbs rear seatbelts difference

the tourqe and top end hp feel well balanced with this amount of backpressure... it compares to the feeling of the straight through suppertrapp with 9 plates on it.


now only to dyno it.

 

VERY NICE! I've been thinking of doing the same thing.

 

Sounds good

 

Can't wait for the results

 

do you have some pics of your battery swap/box delete?

 

Hey Sam! Good to see the exhaust make the NAM bigtime finally! Remember, you gotta let me drive when I get out there!

Samtrak,

I'm a Magnaflow fan, I own one... got it because of the quoted power AND best note to my ear. your home-brew is right up there Some of what I'm hearing sounds even better.

Hope it makes power too!

 

thanks for the positive feedback...

ill be sure to post pics on the battery box delete shortly.
