I just had these tips installed today. Took some clever modifications but we were finally able to get them welded on. Had to remove about 3 inches of factory tailpipe and cut the brace holding the two rear pipes together. Welded everything on inlcuding the bracket we had cut. Just an idea for those of you looking for a different look and want the quiet exhaust note. Tips were about $32 each through 21st Century Exhaust, a Borla reseller. Let me know what you think?

I like it, very nice. Fits the opening perfect, unlike anyone else. Probably it is not going to do anything to the sound I would guess. A good option although a bit more work.

looks excellent! Oval shapes compliment the design themes of the MINI so well. I also like how the tips do not protrude much from the fascia, they look tucked in nicely.

Two Thumbs Up here
Cheers,
Ryan
