Anyone have experience with this seller? So far this is the cheapest I've found so if you have any other reputable sellers let me know please. Also I have an 05 MC so I would have to get the one I linked to modified before it would fit my car.

Another place I was looking at was webmotor sports which is a bit more expensive but it would probably be a lot safer and easier to install since I think they will be straight " plug and play" with the 05 MC's

Any other vendors I should take a look at?? Please :smile:

 

Ended up ordering it from Turner Motorsport, hopefully I get it soon

 

Just installed the exhaust today, so far so good The sound was pretty much what I was expecting/wanted. Only gripe is that I have some slight rattling when it is at idle and warmed up ( will try to fix that tomorrow or something).

Heres some pics:

 

I was really confused for a minute, until I realized that the first picture is the "before" with the stock exhaust.

 

btw my friend who helped me install the exhaust said it was so easy compared to his cars exhaust.

Next up Rspeed rear swaybar!

 

I have had a Borla for over a year now and I still love it, I have a fellow MINI club member who has a Milltek and his sounds just as good as mine both idling and driving through the gears. Ebay is ok to buy small stuff, but I would pay $50 more to get off a aftermarket website or someone like MossMini.com. A lot of the times Ebay shipping rates from sellers are just wrong (way too high)! I go to website with free shipping and for a part over $400, I would only expect free shipping! On another note - when I have to go to car shows I use silver polish to make not only the tip shine but the muffler as well. Nothing worse than going to a car show and they lean down to check out your spare tire and your muffler+tip out for cleanliness. HAHAHAHA!!!

 

How wierd is it that I know of three people with Velvet Red Coopers with a Borla exhaust? Of course, I still have yet to see more than two Velvet Red cars at the same time.

 

Is there only one Borla system for the non "S" car? or is there a street and race unit?

 

For the Cooper (non-S) there is only one Borla.

 

I had a Borla on my previous Cooper and I really liked it, but I'm looking for something different for my '05 - possibly the Milltek. The main reason is that the Borla was just slightly too loud at highway speeds. Fine with me, but sometimes I have passengers. The sound was great, though!

By the way, Turner installed my Borla and my B&M short shift kit, and my experiences there were top notch.

 

Any more detail you can go into about the comparative sound of the two exhausts? Thanks!
