I'm in desperate need of help!!!

You might have read my last post on this but I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY need to find somebody with an Invidia exhaust to come by my house and let my parents hear it in order to convince them that I should get it.

Please I know you're out there
Help!!!

Scenario:

Strange MINI Cooper Owner w/Exhaust: Hiya! I'm here to demonstrate my exhaust
HighSchoolzMINI: COOL! ROCK ON! YAY! Mom, Dad....come out here!
Parents: Whaaaat?
Strange MINI Cooper Owner: Vroooom, VRoooom, VaaaaROOOOOOM bap, bap, bap, burble...
HighSchoolzMINI: Yahoooo, can I have it? Can I? Can I have it pleeeeeese?
Parents: NINE.ONE.ONE There is a stranger in our driveway reving his engine and making enough noise to wake the dead. Please hurry.


Seriously though, good luck to ya, HighSchoolz

Just order it without them knowing. Then have it installed when you skip school or something.

I always click on these kinds of threads thinking that someone actually has a problem and needs some immediate assistance to get their MINI back on the road. . . .

good luck getting your exhaust

This my sound boring but get a job this summer and save up for it. If it's your own money your spending that should help.

Not sure if this qualifies as desperation.

My advice is to buy it and install it. When your mom makes you take it off because of the noise, send it to me. Perfect solution! (for me )
