Anyone have a Palo Uber exhaust?

I'm specfically looking for pics of the system on an MCS with the factory Aero kit. I bought the Palo Uber dual exhaust system for my wife ( ) for Christmas along with the Palo Uber rear valance. Our 06 MCS is scheduled to arrive on the 20th of December. We ordered the Aero kit and then I realized that the exhaust system won't fit with the Aero kit and the rear valance isn't even close. Hence, my problem.

I called Palo Uber and spoke with Bryce (sp?). WHAT A GREAT GUY BY THE WAY!!! . He told me that they could modify our rear bumper (filling in the cut out for the center exit factory exhaust) and make it look factory...I have no reason not to believe him, but I'd sure like to see the Palo Uber system on a car with an Aero kit.

As a side note, I was SO impressed with Palo Uber over the phone. Sounds like an outstanding company to do business with. I know that after I placed my order, they kept in constant contact with me via email about the status of my order.

I'm planning on driving the MCS up to Palo Uber and let them work on it (it's about a 2 hour drive from where I live) and I can't wait to see their facility.

Just a thought... to fit a dual exhaust, a non-S Cooper aero rear bumper might work better as a starting point.

I looked into this exhaust, because I was very interested when I was in the market.

It's not a true cat back. Only Axle back. There's another thead where I posted my findings...

Yeah, I read that. It's not that big of a deal to me. I'm looking more for sound than power increase. If I want to go fast, I just hop in this....

mini b,

Nice pic of the red Corvette!

It's always interesting to see what else is in our garages.

We've got a blue Corvette convertible (C5) and blue Corvette coupe (C6) in the stable, too.

Drone!!!!

That's what you'll get with the palo exhaust. I was interested in it as well, and visited the dealer (Nick Alexander in L.A.). that thing drones like it will never stop droning. Just FYI, since its going to go on your wife's Mini.

Have you seen how small those mufflers are? check them out.

Just my .02

Cars ...

Thanks for reminding me about that forum. I just took the Corvette in (finally) to get the roof panel checked out (on the recall). They called me today to tell me I need a new roof panel and that the only way to get it is for Chevrolet to ship a "ready to be painted" panel and their local body shop will paint it. I guess ... I hope it matches the rest of the car.
