Anyone put aftermarket exhaust on yet?

Was searching around and found a system from Borla, Remus, Milltek(pricey) and Magnaflow. Anybody do custom? Anyone have an exhaust upgraded on a clubman at all yet?

I'm assuming you're asking about Clubman S? I would love to upgrade the non-S exhaust but no aftermarket versions yet.

I know of a Clubman S with a pre-production Borla Sport System. Looks and sounds very nice...

where are our exhausts??

man when will we have some full exhausts available to us. So far all I know is the miltek, I have seen really any news about the others. Supposedly Alta has one on the way, but haven't heard much recently. I would like to find one thats somewhat affordable, don't want to spend more than $1500 for a full one... if its only a cat back then I hope its in the $500-$750 range. I would love for Alta to make a black stealth one also, I would like to get rid of the chrome tips showimg..

Hopefully Adam won't get mad for me posting this, but in an email from him today, he stated the Clubman exhaust would be only a couple of weeks away. I hope so, I'll be one fo the first to ante up for one.

M7 Tuning and Detroit Tuned both agreed that a non-S Clubman switching over to the Clubman S stock exhaust will not cause issues(no loss in back pressure). Would an aftermarket one be the same or will issues arise? I believe the stock Clubman S exhaust is supposedly very constricted-hence the no loss in back pressure. I would assume the aftermarket versions would cure this and hence make back pressure loss a problem?

There's plenty....it's just getting them that would be a problem. There's at least 3 companies offering non-s clubman exhausts. The US vendors just haven't caught up yet

No because I don't know the answer I highly doubt you would run into any problems with back pressure.
