its my lucky day :)

so earlier in the year i went with my buddy and one of his friends for a photo-shoot up in the mountains

the friend of the friend was driving a MCS GB JCW that was modded fairly well

the best mod though in my oppinion was the borla cat back exhaust, it was the aggressive setup with the smaller mufflers

this car was a car that was traded in to the friend o friends dealership and he wanted to show me it, hence why he was driving it

well a few months and he cant sell the mini, so my buddy calls me up

in the mean time i have been shopping for possible exhaust options as i was getting the mod bug again

i pick up the phone, he asks if i liked the exhaust on the GB

i said hell yes, the system retails for over $900

he says no one will the mini with the exhaust on and asked if i would like to trade for my stock exhaust

at this point i got a big grin on my face and said yes please!

anywho we did the swap today, and its all done, pretty simple install, worst part was a few rusty bolts

i love the tone of the exhaust and the tips look 1000 times better

so to sum up

i got a $900 exhaust system for the price of three pizzas to feed the crew lunch
