I'm thinking about getting a Borla Sport for my 2005 MCS. Does anyone from Southern California know of a good place to pick one up? I'm in Carlsbad, so Orange County wouldn't be a problem. I'd rather pick something like that up rather than have it shipped.

Does anyone recommend anything other than the Borla Sport? I'd like something a little more harsh than stock...

JCW or Dinan?

Also a good shop to have it installed at a reasonable price??

Thanks!

 

For the price, I like this mod.

EF1 Motorsports in Long Beach is a bit of a drive but worth it.

 

A good friend of mine recommended Ed Hanson's Muffler Service (http://www.edhansonsmuffler.com/) in Spring Valley. When I called to inquire about their services and recommendations he told me they've put the Borla on lots of Minis. Apparently several members of the West Coast Mini Club had theirs done there.

They told me it should only take them about 40 minutes. I didn't get a price yet, but if Mini charges $120/hr they must be a lot cheaper.

I'm getting it done tomorrow (Wednesday). I'll post my results.

Thanks for you help.

 

Ed Hanson's shop did a great job! It took less than one hour and only charged me $90.00 after receiving 10% off. I highly recommend them!

 

Ed Hansen's is a great shop and did wonderful (and cheap) work on my Vette (when I had it). They lost a couple of good guys years ago but I haven't been there is a while.

 

Yeah they were good to go. You also need to see the receptionist... Yummy!

 

I went to Ed Hansen's last week for one ball exhaust surgery and Kevin took care of me. What a great guy and he did a great job as well. I recommend them. Next year I plan to get a Miltec.
