Hi All, I am a New/ (Used) Mini Owner 2005 "S" I am looking for a repair shop (other than the dealer) to replace my rusting muffler system with a new stainless system and would appreciate any advice. I hope to make the next "dinner" @ Roadhouse Thanks, JR
Hi JR - I'll let the wise men :arf: answer (I'd say Northend Wrench) but welcome! Mid Ohio is a crazy bunch! I'm sure there will be lots of discussion before dinner, but I think it won't be the Roadhouse. Carol, aka IMGRFX, aka Silverfox
Hello and welcome to the club! Did you attend the last breakfast in that Electric Blue MCS? If you're just wanting the old exhaust taken off and a new one bolted on, I suggest saving a few bucks and going to Fast Lane Auto located in Clintonville on N. High street. Chuck at Fast Lane is a good friend of mine and has installed several aftermarket exhausts on Minis, including my own. It probably shouldn't cost much more than $100-$140.
Welcome and who shot you? Sorry this weekend was the anniversary of that Dallas episode and I couldn't stop myself. We need to see some pictures of your car!!!
Welcome aboard. I am not a member of MOM, but I seem to hang out around here a lot, just to check out the eating habits of those in Ohio and mess with certain of your members. :cornut: Jim
WELCOME to M/A, and joining MOM is a great idea, good bunch :crazy: This is the best place to be What exhaust are you putting on ? Mark
Welcome! And I absolutely reccommend North End Wrench. Had them put my stratmosphere on and it was under 100 bucks (maybe around 80-something) They even allowed me to store my stock one there until i could get a truck about 2 weeks later!
I have not made any of the breakfasts/dinners. My Mini is Pepper White. One of the two rear mufflers (the first one the pipe enters) has quite a bit of rust. I have not decided yet what to purchase. Do you know if any of the stock exhaust system is stainless? Such as from the exhaust manifold to the catalytic converter? Appreciate the responses.
Thanks for the responses and advice. I am still deciding on what to purchase, it is not making any loud exhaust sounds yet...... just noticed the rust on the first of the two mufflers in the rear during an inspection.
Pepper White is the best color ever, I am slightly biased. Hope you can make it out to some meals you will be able to hear a bunch of different exhausts. I think most people like the JCW. Adam is the guy to talk to he has had all of them at one point in time
