MSCS and Blueflame exhaust

Any feedback on the fitment of a Blueflame exhaust on an MCSC? I've heard talk that some exhausts don't fit due to extra supports added to the underside of the cabrios. Have you heard if the Blueflame will fit? Anyone actually fitted one to a cabrio? Would love a pic if you have one! Thanks!

For anyone considering the Blueflame exhaust on a cabrio...it doesn't fit. Just found out after trying to install one yesterday. The support beams added to the bottom of the frame that make the cabrio more stable conflict with the path of the exhaust. It will take a bit of bending to get it to fit, but I'm sure they will make a new version to fit the cabrios. Waiting anxiously!

Okay I broke down. I couldn't wait for Blue Flame to design a new one. The guys at Downtown MINI had to do some cuts, bends, and welds, but they got the exhaust on for me. All I can say is awesome! Love this exhaust! The note harmonizes with my Alta intake quite well!

Only problem is the replacement valance is cheap cheap cheap. I'll likely be replacing it later with one from a Cooper and making cuts on the opposite side to match.

For any other Cabrio owners, if you know a good exhaust shop, you can make it work.
