R53 Factory or aftermarket exhaust
Category: Exterior
Price: $0
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R50, R52, R53
Location (Region): West
Item Condition: Used
I bought an R53 with some very loud straight pipes for an exhaust and now need to pass emissions in Colorado. Would love to buy or trade for a stock or performance cat-back exhaust that won't wake the neighbors up.
Located in Fort Collins, CO but willing to drive for the right part/price.

I have a free OEM exhaust off a 2006 Mini Cooper S.
There's two issues:
1) during removal the studs to the downpipe were so rusted that I had to cut them. You should be able to punch out the old studs and use standard nuts and bolts or you can have a muffler shop weld in new studs.
2) the exhaust was slightly rusted around the muffler corners. Gave the car a nice throaty sound but not overly loud.
You can have it if you'd like. Located in Boulder.
