A Big Thanks
Ok Joe, I tried the big muffler on the end of the little muffler and it works on my MINI with only a little drone around 3000 rpm, but it won't cause you to go deaf.
I'm going to try your MINI with the SS resonator and both mufflers after lunch. The header will be another story.
Will you send me a link to your exhaust tip supplier and will you bring by one of your tips when you get a chance? Thanks.
Steve

Here's the link to GT Haus: http://gthaus.com/main.php, which is where I got the exhaust tips. I can get over to your neck-of-the-woods tomorrow with the exhaust tips. Note: JIMINNImachine- I like the first MINI Dr.Steve posted. That gets my vote.

Sounds good. I can live with a lil' bit of drone, just not what we experienced on our 4 mile jaunt down the highway. Here's the link to GT Haus: http://gthaus.com/main.php, which is where I got the exhaust tips. I can get over to your neck-of-the-woods tomorrow with the exhaust tips.

When looking at a thread for over three years you sort of notice if something has changed. It took me a minute to realize what was wrong.Steve

Very cool, thanks Steve
#1. What's with the handwritten sticker? Seems to have alot of add on's done by them and real expensive.
#2. If I showed her that interiour she would strangle me
#3. THATS IT! Thats look's almost like the one we built on Mini's website, except we used the JCW aero kit. But that seems to look ok. Those are the seats she want's, we used the same dask color also. Thanks again Steve.

Not that anyone asked for a vote, but if we were voting I would have to cast my ballot for the red MINI. Until I entered my "white" period my wheels were red. I love my Xenons and it would be hard to do without them. My MINI came with them and so I did not have to chose. Had my car not had them I probably would not have known the difference, but once bit, it would be so hard to go back. Of the silver/greys I like the understated interior of #1. But red makes such a statement - like "look out, her comes fun". It looks like a little ball of fire. It's your baby, Janet and no matter what you choose, it will be the right one!

i totally agree especially having just bought the mini gerbil
.... once you see it and sit in it u will fall in love you wont know which one u want till you see it..unless of course u build it then i don't know what I'm talking about
You'd be surprised at how hard it is to find an all-inclusive muffler tip site. There's only one I found which had +400 different styles & sizes, complete with pictures. I'm having trouble relocating it, but I'm working on it for you.
Jiminni,
If I had to say anything about the R56 the bluetooth and xenons were a great addition. The JCW aero kit looks a lot better then the factory one as the color matching side panels with out the fender black panels just did not look right to me.

Thanks for letting us all hang out at the shop today at lunch time Dr.Steve! The exhaust looks bad azz & the piece de' resistance is going to make the exhaust note sing. The really cool thing is the Hyper Pipes visit is going to be pretty quick, ie. y-pipe & a final stainless weld.
