Hello all

I found this on one of the website. It stated that is made from HKS and the price is beauty reasonable too. At $419.16 and free shipping


Note:
HKS Exhaust System BMW Mini Cooper 2003 (does not fit Cooper "S&quot Stainless Sport / E-1 - Pipe/Diameter Size = 83 / 50mm

 

The link to the HKS site for exhausts is-

The photo is a generic one which generally means that the exhaust is not cat-back but a weld on unit, hence the lower price. However Rspeed has a quite nice cat-back exhaust for merely $458

That thing is hideous! Not to mention, it would probably gradually grind itself down coming out of higher driveways - scraaape!

I think you are referring to the Titanium Hi-Power (cannon) muffler. Scared you, did it?
Maybe it serves as a deterent to racing. One look and you are scared silly or dying from laughter and unable to race.
I did not consider the scraping risk but you are right, will some suspension lowering the muffler would be an inch or two from a nice scrape.

 

$400 for a weld-on.... Come on now. In my experience, its more likey a DIY bolt on system (cat-back) coming from HKS.
