I finally got my Mina exhaust shipped in and installed it myself, really simple process for anybody thinking about doing it. I replaced the existing straight pipe section with awful cheap tips (how I bought the car).

The biggest reason for doing this was to cut down on the drone at highway speeds, but also to give it a more subtle, but still aggressive sound. Having now done a few miles with the new exhaust setup, I'm also much happier with the now lack of vibrations that the old exhaust used to send through the car.

Please excuse my less than stellar video editing skills, just wanted to hide my plate.

 

so far this has been the best video of the Mina exhaust. I've been on the fence about it, but this is swaying me in the right direction

 

Just to be clear, the part labeled #5 (center resonator silencer) has also been removed and replaced with steel tubing. The previous owner did this when he straight piped it. I think this makes quite a big difference to a fully stock exhaust with just the Mina mufflers.
