It's a Milltek SSXM013, the header + catback with the resonator. I ordered it from Roadruner Motorsport in the UK, and dropped it off last week at Performance Coatings for ceramic thermal coating. I took it there in a Honda Fit, but today I risked the trip in my Mini. the guy at Performance Coatings, who used to have the same car with the same exhaust, said no way, I'd have to come back. Or leave a kid behind. But I futzed aroudn with that big twin muffler piece a while and found a way to get it in the passenger seat without hitting anything. The other three pieces were easy.
