Bought this off ebay, it was meant for an E30 M3. I have a supersprint exhaust, but wasn't prepared to pay the stupid $100+ price for their tips. This one's very high quality and I only paid about $50. The exhaust didn't mate up at first and the ends were too far apart, but with a mini-torch and my buddy applying pressure with a piece of pipe we bent the ends inward a little and the tip slid right on and mounted up fine.


Oh yeah, I've noticed a huge drop in in-cabin noise and it doesn't resonate much at all anymore once warmed up.

That looks pretty nice. I saw one of these in traffic and thought the tip design would fit well with the MINI:

Looks great! And nice bonus with the reduced cabin noise! Good job not encouraging Supersprint's overpricing.

A new twist: comparing mods to anatomical procedures. So bonnet graphics are nose jobs, or is that a new intake? New grill, facelift? What mod would constitute new implants??
