Hello -

My Mini arrives in about a month and I'd like to have some mods ready when it hits our shores. Does anyone in the Chicago area have an aftermarket exhaust that I might be able to listen to?

I'm leaning toward the Alta or the Milltek at this point.

 

Try changing you post title to : Chicago Exhaust mods. People in Chicago might be more likely to find it.


:smile:

 

Thanks, done.

Though I did post in the Chicago forum...?

 

Hmmm for some reason the edited title does not appear on the forum threadlist page. :-/

 

I changed the title for you..


Here are a couple of Cooper exhaust sound bytes from Gabe's motoringfile site:

Thanks Ernesto!

I should have mentioned that I'm getting an MCS tho! (dark silver, manual, LSD, sport, premium, cold, and a bit more)

I've seen the exhaust comparo sticky thread with the sound bytes, and it was extremely helpful in narrowing my choices down to a couple/few, but I'd like to check them out firsthand before ploppin' the dough. :smile:

I have the Dinan S1 package on my 02 MCS and love the exhaust. It's only slightly louder than stock at lower rpm's, but when you get on it the car has a nice throaty sound. The intake with the exhuast sound really nice.

I'm in the North burbs.

I might take you up on that. I'll be visiting some of my brokers up in Skokie today; where are you located?

Im in Yorkville (west) and am looking to upgrade my stock S exhaust. anyone have an aftermarket i can listen to??

 

Ivan:

If you come to the CMMC event at Knauz on Saturday morning you should be able to hear at least a couple after market exhausts. My MCS with the Dinan S1 will be there. I love it and have gotten several postive comments from other MINI owners about it's sound.
