Has anyone dealt with MiniTuners.com. Found this site over the weekend. They have the best prices I have found on Milltec and Invidia exhaust. Just curious if anyone had used them? MINI R53 Cooper S Alta MINI Cooper Sportone 3" Cat Back Exhaust, MINI R53 Cooper S Alta Header, MINI R53 Cooper S Alta MINI Cooper Sportone 2.5" Cat Back Exhaust, MINI R53 Cooper S Alta MINI R56 Down Pipe, MINI R53 Cooper S Alta R56 Exhaust Dual Tip,
They are MINI Tuners in name only. They are a mass merchandiser known as Car Truck Tuner, LLC that own about 65 other domains such as ScoobyTuner.com, TruckTuner.com, 4RunnerTuner.com, 135Tuner.com, Bimmer1Tuner.com, Bimmer3Tuner.com. Basically a WalMart of "Tuners". Buy a heap, sell it cheap. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I'd just imagine that support after the sale will be lacking if you run into any issues. The scooby guys on NASIOC.com don't have any bad comments about them.
I've dealt with them before. It's really a one-man show - Matt Bain. He's got a few distributor relationships and sets up nice sites for each brand of car he's selling to. He's knowledgeable and helpful and honest, from my experience and others I know. YMMV.
I purcahsed from him in the past with no issues. However, I did not have any questions. If you know what you want, he has good prices. Another similar site with good prices is JSC Speed.
Thanks for the feedback. I was skeptical if I should do business with them. I want a Milltec exhaust but wasn't sure if the 50.00 savings was worth the risk.
One other great option is to try and find a local custom exhaust shop. we are lucky to have a shop in town that specializes in custom set-ups for hot rods, race cars, and trucks. They are set up to do mandrel and are a whole heck of a lot cheaper than the aftermarket ones. They did several systems for friends that were made with the Magnaflow mufflers and resonator and cost about $350-400 complete.
Milltek is a great exhaust, but the Stratmosphere system is the same thing just cheaper, and actually a little better quality if I do say so.
Count me. I have purchased my Shark Injector from them back in 05 with good service. I dealt with Mathew Bain of MiniTuner.com
