Looking for new exhaust

Hi Guys,

I am in the west burbs of Chicago and looking to upgrade the exhaust on my 2010 Camden S. The dealer quoted me $1850+ for the JCW exhaust but that seems pretty pricey.

Do you guys have any after market suggestions and know any reputable mod shops in this area?

How does that work regarding the warranty?

yea its just the exhaust and that doesnt include shipping, but i have installed a exhaust in my driveway with simple wrenches. its very easy on a new car without rusted parts. the hardest part is wresting the piping in/out from under the car.

I was looking at the Quicksilver as well before getting the JCW installed. I contacted QS direct and they were going to sell it to me for 1080 British pounds (like $1700) including Fedex shipping to my door. I couldn't pull the trigger on that without hearing one first. Still anxious to hear one. That said I am quite happy with my JCW exhaust. Not too loud...not too quiet...just right with the blurbs and pops makes it excellent.

Oops, I posted in the wrong section, that is why I am getting all these weird options. I have an R56 Cooper S.

Can a moderator move this?

Anyone have any specs on the Quicksilver exhaust. Specifically the diameter of the pipes (2.5"?) and the diameter of the tips (>3.5")?
