Cheap one-ball

So I went and had my one exhaust nard cut off today and the price came to $81.29. I was expecting it to be more than that. If you want it done go to Iggy's Custom Muffler Shop, 7230 W. Montrose.

I LOL'd... "exhaust nard"... heh heh

Noticing any difference in your butt-dyno? Sound difference nice?

Driving down to Montrose isn't that big of a deal for me, especially with such a nice price.

Butt-dyno results = eeh, not noticable
Sound = Much better, louder and throatier, I have yet to drive it on the highway at sustained speeds but I think ther is more drone.
I'm glad I went and did it.

Are you referring to one of the pipes? Why would you do this? If the sound is different, then there must be a reason it's there.
A little more info for people like myself who are a tad mechanically retarded.

Its there to make the MINI quiet enough that it can be sold to the general non enthusiast public.

The link has the rest of the info.

That's what I did, but I bought them before they went up to $100 bucks And I was wrong, i took it on the highway and it doesn't drone. It sounds nice!

After going one-ball, my '03 picked up a vibration at part-throttle, & when idling w/ AC on. I tried adding a glasspack behind the cat, but it didn't help. I tossed it & went with a brown-wrapper ebay Megan.
