Anyone have a stock MCS exhaust?

do you need to get rid of the stocker MCS exhaust after the upgrade? Is your better half tired of looking at it in your garage? Not only will I remove the old one out of your garage I will also leave a case of your favorite beverage in its place. let me know.

Cheers

Check with Randy Webb as well, he usually has a bunch of they, he might have a few in his shed at his house.

he just sent an email. thanks for the heads up.

I just realized that going back to stock exhaust may not help me stay in the current auto-x class. I am trying to add a rear sway without changing classes but sway is four pts vs exhaust which is three pts.

I've got one too, for an 05 S. Though it's sort of still attached to my car.

I'm taking recommendations for a new exhaust and plan to do some research at MITM. Hopefully I can find one I like the sound of and then it'll come off the car.

I will trade my 'my mini' exhaust for your Alta sway bar. My mini is a single sided exhaust for great weight savings.

I have one, well... kinda... I told Midas about two weeks ago they could have it after they installed my Borla Sport because I didn't think i'd need it I wonder if they still have it? Call the Parker Midas and ask Chad or Jim if they still have it. If they do, you can have it

No worries Bryan. The next event is Aug 16th. Hope all is well. Have you recovered well?

thank you for that offer, I dont think r56 exhaust is interchangeable with r53.

No can do, I loves me a swaybar. I recommend coming to MITM, where vendors give away prizes during the dinners; that's where I got my swaybar. Can't beat the price!

Maybe someone will be giving away exhaust or a certificate toward an exhaust. If so, I can hope to swap and get rod of the old. If you haven't figured it out by end of MITM post here again, maybe things will have changed.

Mrs. Bean is not an R56, only the '07 - '08 hard tops are R56. The cabrio is still the same chassis as R53.

I thought she had the hard top, never mind. Thank you for the offer i will follow up with them. Most likely it is already recycled but worth a shot.

MITM: I think we are going up on friday night afterwork. Will join in on the saturday fun and the midnight drive to mt evans.

Auto-x: Spectate? Come on buddy you need to participate. You can come over anytime first run is around 9:30. There are plenty of people willing to have passengers.

Cenk,
Did you find one? Do you need one for the next Auto-X?

MITMs;
What time approx. are you gonna be there Friday?

Auto-X;
I'm using my fused vertibrae as an excuse, but really I'm afraid I'll like it
too much and at this point it's best if I just watch.

I found a few stock exhaust systems. The problem is I found out the sway bar is more point than the exhaust for classification and would still put me in the next class. So I am not going that route, at least not this year.

I will be in Frisco about 7:00pm on friday. We wont head over to Copper at that time because my son will be a sleep and tired. I will spend the entire next day and evening with the MINI group. Definately doing the mt evans run.

See you next week!!!

I think the singular of that would be: "You is what you is."

No, it's definitely "I Arrgh, what I arrgh"...

(man that was cheezy, even for me) Other people can be too if they want.
