Does anyone have the magnaflow exhaust installed on a MC? What does the MC exhaust sound like? What are the hp gains for the MC? I would greatly appreciate anyones feedback on the exhaust. Thanks in advance.

There is a MINI tuner in Colorado named Randy who swears by the Magnaflow exhaust. His site is www.mini-motorsport.com

I've been over to Randy's (mini cooper motorsports) for an open house to hear and see the magnaflow, borla, and quicksilver side by side on MCS's--but not on a MC.

Until this summer, I would like to find numbers on the power gains. Secondly, I want to assure that the exhaust note is nice and deep rather that obnoxious-poorly-modded-honda-leaf-blower sound. I already have a monster intake that has given a very nice throaty growl and I wonder if this combination will be too loud.

So, anyone got a magnaflow installed? Dynoed? Sound clips?

Duke: Of topic: I was in Las Vegas for New Years and saw only a couple MINI's. A yellow and a black. Not many there--except for the rentals in the exotic car section--too funny. Any idea what they're charging for rentals?

Check my web site @ www.mcshp.org Sound and pictures galore. I also have a system on my car. Power is nice around 12hp at the wheels. Doing more dyno runs in a few weeks.

I think now that he was asking about the MC not the MCS.

I've been to www.mcshp.org several times--great site!

I am interested in the magnaflow for the MC(no S). I will have an S someday...but I didn't have to wait when my previous car was nearing its end in April 02. So I'm doing minor things to the cooper to get my kicks.

So...anyone with a magnaflow on a MC(no S)?

I have magnaflow on 1988M3. It is very boomy on light throttle or off throttle, coasting down. It is irritating for more than 10 minutes. I don't have experience with it on cooper or S but it would be wise to personally hear it from inside the car.
