Good Luck? Skilled bidding? Happy thoughts? I don't know, but I won it! If I remember correctly they had about 4 of them they were selling back then and all of them went for somewhere around $450 - $500.

Now whether it's a knock off or not, I don't know. I can tell you it came in an Invidia emblazoned white box, wrapped in plastic with bubble wrap around the mufflers, protected by form fitting gray foam also wrapped in plastic.

Oh and it looks like this:









What say you Jonathan? Does it look like the real deal?

 

looks like a real deal to me

 

Ya man the OZs They work well with your car, even without the white roof one normally associates with white tires.

You know - this one:



Good luck with the new set! Sounds like you've got the same wheel fetish I have! I'm selling off sets (OEM stuff) now to try and keep the attic in the garage from becoming the basement in the garage! Oh and to keep world peace

 

yeah, those were nice, the set is on another mini right now, they are not available in US right now, I don't think so. they sell the GTs, but not the WRCs at tirerack. Too bad, we don't have OZ USA anymore, I really don't like to deal with tirerack, they are nice, informative, but non-negotiable, and I love to negotiate

 

This car is friggan nice! Good taste!

 

thank you

 

Scuderimini, what are those? They look awesome. I'm going to jack your look except I have a white roof.

Wow, this is so off-topic. Yea, what about that great invidia system...

 

OZ Superturismo WRCs, like i said i do not have them anymore, it is on another Mini tho, in Austin Everything was fine except running on 215/35/18s was harsh, and occasional rub with my h-sports before i used dremmelling skills. If i ever go back to 18s, which i really loved, and was truely opposed to other people here defending small diameter rims, I will use 215/40/18s, and a different suspension set up (JCW or Koni FSDs).

 

I'd probably run them in 17s. Where did you get them? [EDIT] Man, nevermind, I need to start reading instead of just skipping over everything.

What size are you running now?

 

"show me your wheels thread"

Now back to topic

 

I installed my Invidia today. Nice fit, great tips, awsome sound (this is my fourth exhaust on this car) but I noticed a loss of back pressure over the JCW. Not as loud as my Borla was. This sounds like good news but I feel a loss of low end torque. Is this in my head? Well I love the sound so it stays! Now on the highway at WOT this system "feels" like it crushes the JCW I took off. Maybe I will just forget about feeling a torque loss and go for a Twincharge next!

 

Where can I get the Invidia exhaust system for some close to that price ?

 

Don't know now, but see post 101 for my story.

I think there is a Magnaflow exhaust for sale in the marketplace for a good price.

 

Im thinking about purchasing the Invidia exhaust as well, but Im really not liking those titanium tips for my CR MCS. Dont get me wrong, they look sick with HB or any gray, silver, or black car, but i really just want chrome. Is it true that the skunk2 exhaust is the same as the invidia, just wit chrome tipes. I think I read about this being true in another thread. If anyone has any info as to if this is true and where I could purchase one that would be great!
