WTF: Stock MCS exhaust?

Anyone got a stock MCS exhaust taking up room that they want to get rid of? I'm interested in trying a one-ball, but I'd rather not hack up my current exhaust if I end up not liking it!
TIA

I am sure you will find one locally but if not and if you want to come down to L.A I can hook you up with one.

Off topic:

So you went with the 04 instead of the 05?

I did - you can see some details in the "VA to CA - Fly or Drive?" thread in Mini talk.

In the end, the IB color and some of the past features (2 spoke sport MFSW, shark fin) tipped it, as well as a great deal on a fully loaded car. I may decide in the future that I NEED the LSD and gearing, but for now it's night and day from my '85 CRX! :smile:

HACK IT!!! Don't worry about not liking it, you will man.
I was able to hold off for almost 1 year, then got the Borla Race at a killer discount.

btw, 7ent. is having another sale on the Borla.

I remember posting a bunch of stuff saying buy the 04 in one of the threads. Especially, since you've been looking for a long time and this one had a lot of features in it.

I've got a Borla on my Miata and I love it. Need to hit a few events to hear what's out there. Besides, my mod budget was blown just buying the car. So for now, cheap mods only.

Gotcha Eric. This dude came by my job earlier today to check out the m7 splitter on my car. He had a One Ball and it sounded very cool, not better than mine of course , but It sounded great. He's actually going on the run with Norcalminis tomorrow morning. Meeting at EBay MINI 930am if your not doing anything.

btw, you mentioned waiting to hear em on the track....Borla race with Jackson racing header on Randy's (MAXMINI\M7) is what made my mind up, louder than the Vettes he was running with at Willow Springs. Catcha later.

Thanks for the info, James. I was down at the AT&T all day. I'll be at the pulley party next week, though.
