From the setup, it looks like the left tip will be more dirty than the right - I believe ALTA had the same problem on their original exhaust. If you can get past that, it looks like a good value and probably a very lightweight setup!

Very attractive considering price!

Far as numbers... an exhaust is an exhaust is an exhaust for the MINI. Backpressure comparison would be nice, but.. I'd like to hear it. And fitment.

I just emailed asking for some more info. Looks great. I have the MyMINI system now, or I should say had because I just removed it. It was way too tiring on the highway with the 3k rpm drone. The Ireland system looks like it has a much larger rear muffler, which would be great. Looking forward to this one.

I ordered it, and then decided I would be better off just leaving the stock back on. I would love to see how it performs and sounds though. It LOOKS like it will be a really great and affordable system. Especially considering it is a chambered muffler and not a straight through.

It looks a little unrefined or cheep to me but then again all I saw was the small pictures. The price is nice however, and the weight savings is probally worth the cost by its self.

For me it's been very hard to decide on what exhaust. I like the one muffler style & less weight. Oh yes I like the price too. What I need to do is hear one in person before I decide. I can't stand loud exhausts that drone down the highway.
