Finally, after 2.5 years I ordered a couple of performance items for my 03' MC.......

unless you count the MINI logo valve stem caps.
Ordered a Sebring-Racing Dynamics muffler and an ITG foam drop-in air filter from myminiparts.com.

Info at the www.myminiparts.com website or, for the muffler, better pictures at:

Better price at mymini.

Hope I like the mods, a total of $330 is a lot of bucks to me. If anyone is interested I'll repost my opinion of these items later after installing them.

Let us know how you like the muffler sound - As I think I said in reply to one of your earlier posts, I have MyMini's Touring Exhaust and really like the sound - I doubt you will feel any seat of the pants difference at all from a muffler, but the sound will probably be great. I got the ITF drop-in filter when I got the cat-back touring exhaust, so couldn't really tell you whether there was any performance difference from just the filter . . . post your impressions and know that you dealt with a great vendor.

So was there any difference in performance with the Touring Exhaust ?
