I thought I would update this thread incase someone els is looking for an exhaust.

I planned on the Miltek but after talking to the guys at Detroit Tuned went with their recommendation of using the Stratosphere.

I could not be any happier! My old exhaust was very loud and droned so load that I would have to have my radio up a little over half to hear the music. This is with a Alpine head unit and a sub!! My hearing is bad, (soon to get hearing aids they are the price of a RMW stroker I need to rethink my priorities), so I had a lot of trouble having conversations in my car. On long trips the Mini was painful.

The Stratosphere has a good note and NO absolutely NO DRONE! I can now hear conversations and turn the music way down.

It was easy to install. I did it late one afternoon with little daylight left. I know this was not smart but I had a lot of peer pressure, you know who you are. The exhaust tips touched the bumper. once I had daylight I climbed under the car to see what I had done wrong. I called DT and was told some time you have to bend the hangers on the car down a little, duh, I felt like a idiot for asking. So I reached under the Mini and bent them by hand, perfect fit.

The unit its self is very well made and comes with every thing you need to install it.

I want to once agin thank DT for all their help. I know I could have ordered this system direct but I wanted to support the people that supports us. Chad works his but off at the Dragon and has help me a few times there.

We have several other sponsors here that really support us so if someone is reading this to buy an exhaust, or other part, I would ask you use one of them

Nick
