I really could careless if you take sides. I stated what happened to me. Take it for whatever value you want. Hopefully some out there will see that he is no good.

Well, this discussion shouldn't be on the public forums. There's little to be gained from airing dirty laundry like this. Personally, I'd like to see this thread locked \ deleted or something else. Use the feedback system and make your reports there. You can also use the Better Business Bureau to file a claim. Those are much more effective techniques than a public forum like this.

You obviously haven't dealt with every MINI dealer!

As for WMW, always done good by me. I'd recommend him for most anything.

Okay, we don't have to take sides, but I will buy parts if it is my last resort anyway from Way but I get it from Detroit Tuned so not like it matters. Install the parts yourself and no harm done from both sides.

Back to the story though, so any video of your new exhaust yet? I was debating the 300Q and magnaflow.

I will try for a video this weekend...when I had the car on the lift I noticed oil on my undercarriage so it's getting some brand new gaskets at the dealership.

The install of the exhaust is easy but, since it is a three piece you need to get a good fit on the downpipe first and work your way back. I would suggest fitting it up first then having it welded so that it does not come apart and start banging on the pan underneath. I think everyone with the Invidia has had that problem.
