Brad, did you leave the aluminum cover for the battery box on after you installed the borla exhaust. I get some resonance, I supsect it may be the culprit, but I have not gotten under the car lately.

You are correct. It looks just like the M7. It's less expensive, too.

The aluminum shield is still on Brad's MINI, but it's been bent a little to keep from touching the exhaust.

What's the difference in performance...M7 vs ProMini....cheeper doesn't always mean better. I'm thinking of goining to straight to M7....someone needs to use Blakes 6$ credit.....
I've had my Borla on for over a year now and other than one of the hanger brackets "thumping" (which is fixed...gotta love pipe wrench's w/a long pry bar)....I love it!! All heat shields are intact.....

I'd go with the M7, but I would like to see one of the ProMinis' to look at the quality. Don't you want to be the quinea pig? I don't know when M7 will get back to making the titanium version since they seem a little overwhelmed with their new projects and are a little behind.

I got a call today, my harnesses were shipped out today.

The pads were on back order, thats what took so long.

I have a good idea for a run on Saturday. I'm going to research it a little and let you guys know.

I also got a call about the exhaust. They told me it had just arrived. I asked why I never got an answer to pms or messages I left. They just said they were sorry. Oh well too bad I had to buy somewhere else.

Hey Brad, you should get a hold of your friend Ken? Kurata to see if we can get him to come in on a Saturday to mount our tires and align our misaligned (or maligned) suspensions. We want to get this done so we can beat the pants off Blake at Hollywood Park.

The tires were shipped directly to him under my name and the Conti kits to me. Put down that beer and get to it.

I cut up the ant infested stump that held up the tree that fell in the first snow storm. Plus, another part of a tree that was overhanging the small oak I have been trying to save.
