It's a 2.5" ID/4" OD Supertrapp Wavetech. We removed the resonator and used a 2.5" pipe after the cat. Looks a bit silly, I know, but it sounds great. Nice and deep. I've noticed only a slight power increase in the higher RPMs. It seems to rev easier too...although that's probably just my own fault

. And before anyone asks, sorry but no I dont have a camera that can take vidoes and sound.

Does indeed look truly bizarre, like an alien eye popping out from under the car or something.

GTT 280 · Apr 27th, 2007, 04:19 PM

Hmmm, interesting.

popey · Apr 27th, 2007, 05:10 PM

Now thats strange

mister.t · Apr 27th, 2007, 08:00 PM

Odd... But very cool

DyeLooper · Apr 28th, 2007, 02:04 AM

Ned to get a camera that you can take vidoes and sound.

L8Apex · Apr 28th, 2007, 11:46 AM

I'm working on getting that for next autocross season. But wheels and slicks come first

I say each to there own. And every credit for avoiding the norm

L8Apex · Apr 29th, 2007, 05:03 AM

Oh I know it looks bad, but I'm not too concerned about that. With the resonator and muffler gone, and having used a slightly larger pipe it knocked off about 20lbs (the muffler itself only weighs 6lbs). It opened up the exhaust flow immensely, and for racing I can take off the end cap and it basically becomes a straight pipe.

Me, too!

Looks may be a subjective/opinion thing, but I can definately appreciate how much weight you've lost there... and I want to hear it, too!

Crazy!

Zeodare · May 27th, 2007, 12:37 PM

It's looks great, I want to remove the resonator too, so... Do you have any video????

Good pictures

NeuroBeaker · May 27th, 2007, 01:30 PM

It looks really bizzare - but, perhaps the sound is it's redeeming feature, so I'll try to hold of judgement until then.

Still... with looks like that, it really needs to sound heavenly.

minimad17 · May 27th, 2007, 02:04 PM

i say every mini2 member donates 25p into the buy a camera fund so that we can all hear the sound it makes!!!

Trinity07S · May 28th, 2007, 02:24 AM

I would be interested in hearing it as well. Im not sure the looks are worth the trade off in weight reduction for me personally.
