Here is a new video, hopefully the quality is better,
Please go to the end of the video for sound clip outside the car.

Regarding the mention" Best sounding exhaust for the Mini Cooper S"

That is my own opinion, it is not meant to upset anyone.
Thank you

Do you guys sell these? What is the cost?

One other thing that is important to me is that an exhaust does not sound like one of those cheap/obnoxious ricer exhausts. Does this exhaust fall into this category?


I have been looking for a classy sounding / slightly louder than stock exhaust for my MCS for quite some time, and from the video, this one sounds pretty nice.

Hello Skitelluride531,

Yes we do sell these, the prices are listed in our website.

The reason I choose to offer this exhaust,
is because of the quality and the sound,
If my only concern was profit, I could just offer whatever the other mini vendors are selling.

If you would like more info about the manufacturer,
heri is their website
http://www.larinisystems.com

All mini owners that listened to this exhaust absolutely loved it.


Victor

Yes, those are the tips,

that picture was from the first exhaust we received, the new ones have the tips a little closer to each over, they are slash cut like the JCW, and 3' each.

Can the tips be easily changed....or are they welded on?

Is it a little bit more quiet with the resonator?

BEST sounding ? subjective don't ya think.

While it is very hard to ever appreciate any exhaust via sound clips, it did sound good.
