Hi guys, Amy's MINI (2004 Cooper S) has developed a really bad exhaust smell in the cabin and I need to take the car in to be looked at. Can someone recommend a good place in central Columbus to do the work that you've used and like? Also, can someone who's had the exhaust replaced give me an idea how much it ran you, and what that cost would be at a muffler/exhaust place compared to, say, a aftermarket exhaust like a Magnaflow or Borla (which seem to run around $1000 just for the parts)? Thanks!!
Supposedly Mad Hatter is awesome for exhaust work. first come first served though. I had Northend Wrench install the Stratmosphere on my old Mini...but I provided the parts. I think it was like $80-100 to do so.
Matt, check with Crankshaft (Chris) with our group. He should have several complete exhaust systems for Amy'S car at his place in Pickerington.
I know Chris has a few stock systems laying around. Arrow Radiator over here on the west side has done great exhaust work for me in the past. Honest and inexpensive. I'm having them do a resonator delete in the spring.
