Default Mina Exhaust

I bought the Mina Gallery exhaust from Chris, and I’m really happy I did. It’s a bit more than the Adamesh exhaust, but it looks quite nice. I’m very happy that it’s fully polished, as a lot of the material is visible due to the design of the bumper.

Here are are some revs:

I may make another video while driving, it sounds even better then.





I should mention, the exhaust comes with a hanger conversion kit for older cars, my garage had trouble with the brackets, they had to be bent, so I was charged for 3 hours of labor.

I had trouble justifying the difference in price. I hope this helps somebody.

I simply eliminated the last two pairs of mufflers on my '06, and then added chrome oval tips. They fit nicely, and it sounds a bit more like a 'Muscle car' according to my friends. I just think it sounds like s Baaaad Cat.

nothing really significant, and I'm in Atlanta now. Been thinking about selling the Jag. Mine is perfect and prices are super high right now.

I went a bit louder and now have an X-pipe too.

Default Mina Exhaust

Jacobmstein,
How long did it take form order to delivery for the Mina exhaust? I ordered mine several weeks ago and no replay to emails looking for a tracing number.

Regards,

Sam, did you then have your exhaust guy add a new piece of straight pipe in place of the mufflers and then attach the new Tips to that?

What part did you buy from Adamesh? Been thinking this over and trying to decide if I should just buy their tips and have an exhaust shop remove the 2 mufflers and add straight pipe with new tips VS buying the kit from Adamesh.
