Thanks.

For used, be aware that there is a difference in rear-most hanger locations between pre-facelift (through mid-2004) and facelift. Some aftermarket systems such as the very popular Milltek (resonated or non-resonated) are furnished with both hanger styles for use on all 1st Gen. I have the Milltek resonated version and like it a lot. Link goes to Milltek's UK site but you can shop current pricing at forum sponsor vendors; ECS Tuning, OutMotoring and Way Motor Works.

Thanks for the heads up, mine is pre facelift.
I'll use the CR-V exhaust hanger if need be.
Milltek and jcw, would be my first choice.

Such a bummer that they've homed in on forums like NAM.


Good eye @HAI-TEK7 so glad you caught this and even linked to the place were the photos came from.

I sold a Milltek a couple years back...

...but wish I still had it so I could offer it in trade to you for some 6-packs!!!

Worked in Lancaster several years ago and man y'all got some really great beer up there!

Milk Stout + Fresh Roasted blew my socks off and absolutely loved that stuff!

Yeah, stupid scammers. I may be NAM newbie, but been around awhile.
I actually had that ebay listing saved.

Yes, we do have good beer up here.

No scammer bump, still looking.

Another scammer from Halstead Kansas LOL wuzzup with that?
Would be the worst place to own a Mini because all the roads out there are gridded 90's with no curves!

Anyway such the bump will add exhaust,
like wish it was easier to get stuff from Japan!

Although the single muffler Garbino may be too loud?
Dunno.
Not sure if I like that oval tip either?





Don't see much of this stuff over here,
but back in prime time glory days I do think that it may have been more common,
like here's a viddie from 16 years ago showing a Saclam exhaust...


...it is the normal dual muffler,
but at an angle:



view is upside down here but better illustrates the angled mufflers:



Saclam also makes headers of a unique design,
pretty wild looking!
