Maybe this will stir some interest....http://www.uucmotorwerks.com/mini/video/

BTW, I'm partial to aggressive/loud under power like what I remember with my CRX turbo with a single Super Trapp.

Any takers?

For the magnaflow (biggest sound- but maybe the Borla sport is also loud) +4 HP seems awfully low.
Maybe with an intake it will breathe better-seems like it is choking right now. Or could just be low in your case.
I know that I get a madness intake and it was OK (slight improvement) but after adding the Quicksilver it was like night and day on the added HP (felt like +10) when driving it. The roar of the exhaust is also loud but not as loud as Magnaflow.

There is nothing on the UUC yet. It is completely vaporware. It is always two weeks off.
I'd like to see the JCW kit exhaust compared to the major aftermarket exhausts.
