There has been talks about these German brands but does anyone actually purchased and installed them? I hope to get better reference then just "IMHO..." without justification.

My friend has Eisenhaus on his M3 and gives great credit for the exhuast specialist. I have seemed various Hamann and AC Schnitzer aerokit and wheels but have no idea how their exhaust are for the MINI...

Please feel free to share your thought, thanks alot guys!

 

I had an Eisenmann exhaust on my Audi A4, and I LOVED it. They make really high quality, hand made exhausts. I've heard their MCS exhaust through their website, but never in person. Aside from price, there would be nothing that would hesistate me from buying another Eisenmann exhaust for any car, including the MCS. I'd definitely recommend them.

 

I know its probably biased and hard to described but how would you rank the Eisenhaus sound?

is it loud or rather deep? in your personal opinion, how does it compare to the JCW sound? just out of curiousity so please share your thoughts, thanks!

 

just make sure you note, it says spare tire cancelled, on an MCS...that means the battery box would have to go, it looks like that goes straight back..

 

Actualy it looks like they whaked the muffler hard on the battery box to clear it.........

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

hmm... seems like we actually dont have anyone owning Hamann, AC Snitzer or Eisenhaus exhaust on a MINI...

just thought since they are people willing to spend thousands on rims, they might be people who would like to invest in Hamann exhuast for over $1k...

 

The dealer here sells Hamann. I have heard 2 MCS with the Hamann exhaust, it is loud.

 

if only i won the lottery i'd grab the ac kit... some people hate it, i just love that drape down grille, kinda reminds me of a classic:

 

I heard somewhere that hamann exhausts are rebadged supersprints.

 

It's the first time I have heard this. Interesting...

 

I have seen the Hamann product, it does not look at all like the Supersprint

 

Can you give me more detail on the Hamann exhaust you saw? Does it look like the one in the picture?

I want to know whether how the hamann muffler (shown in picture) would fit on a 05 MCS's parallel flow unit setup.

 

my friend has the hamann header, cat and exhaust and I like the sound.. Mine is really loud with hamann header, no-cat, HKS exhaust.. I can upload some sound clips in a week, it's raining here

 

Cupid,

Any chance you can show me a picture of the Hamann exhuast tip?

I would love to know which vendor you went with, and possibly price?

Thank you for sharing!

 

uh..well, I think that's a little absurd for an exhaust system that's not fully titanium and weighing less than 5 lbs...I don't think it's naive to assume most people aren't going to want to hack off their battery box for an exhaust system..

 

thats exaclty what i am trying to find out from Hamann exhaust owners... whether it is necessary to relocate the battery box for its exhaust.

 

I can't believe anyone would engeneer something that wants to sell a product that would require that kind of surgery.

Yup, I want one of those. Better yet 2 of those. Then I get to try my new plasma cutter... Oh what fun it is to ride.......

I'll go out on a limb here & say all you need to do is bolt it on. The pic shows the muffler as being clearanced. Nobody is going to relocate their battery box. If you did, where would you put it?

 

i reckon Hamann wouldnt make installation such a mess either...

anyone else that have the hamann exhuast? i tried contact Bavarian Auto for a sample photo but they could not provide one since they dont even have one in stock...

you would think vendors would be willing to provide pictures of their product so us buyers can learn more about what we are bleeding our wallet for...
