    I took the easy way out...muffler shop here we go. They did a great job. Actually, DT installed the header and Flowteck exhaust installed the 'Milteck' exhaust.

    I still need to look into what to replace the exhaust on mine with... the 3" actually causes a loss in power plus the drone wears you out... will be doing that once I get these updates done.

    I think 2.5 is the right size for Mini.

    If you know someone with a lift use it. Laying on the floor doing all that crap sucks.

    So got it installed yesterday.
    So after an initial 25 mile drive my impressions are these.......throttle pickup seems to be a bit quicker and I can see a difference in acceleration. I can get to 60 a bit faster than before on a nice bit of road where before it would just hit close to 55.
    Sound is nice, a bit raspy at part throttle and lower rpm but sounds great at WOT and no drone at 2500-3500 rpm.
    Overall am very happy.
