Another Budget Mod that has been done today to my Mini. I went to my local Muffler Shop and improved the sound and flow on the little 3 Cylinder.
Here is what has been done to it.
1) Cut the Beer Can Muffler out and replaced it with a Magna Flow muffler model number 11225.
2) cut the stock muffler off and replaced it with a 4 inch pipe welded a Magna flow double sided chrome tip back on.
3) He did not have to install a new pipe from the front to the rear since it got a 4 inch pipe from the factory just welded the parts in.
4) drove it made sure no engine light would come on paid the men and took it for a spin on the Highway.
The whole install including parts and labor was $ 220.00
No engine light came on it is a nice clean install it looks almost factory and it got a pleasant deep growl to it and it does not drone you out on the Highway. The pick up at low RPM improved the car feels more alive and the chrome tip looks almost factory The square Magna Flow Muffler fits in perfect without any problems. I am very happy with another Budget Mod on my Mini.
If anybody from the Phoenix Area wants the name of the shop please PM me.
Here are the pictures (pics are taken from the rear to the front)
