It's the exhaust. I wish I knew how to put sound clips on this site because it sounds great!

Eye shade?

I love the eyeshade and would love to have one, but aren't they like over $200?? I wonder if I could find a plain cardboard one that would fit that my daughter (a pretty good artist) could customize with some eyes for me?

I got this one on Amazon before I knew about the custom ones.
mAuto 3085 Blue Eyes Car Sun Shade, Reversible in Silver 27.6" x 51.2" : Amazon.com : Automotive mAuto 3085 Blue Eyes Car Sun Shade, Reversible in Silver 27.6" x 51.2" : Amazon.com : Automotive
It doesn't fit perfectly, it is not a super cool piece of art and the color has faded to match my car luckily, but its only $15. When it rips or fades out I am going to get one of the really nice ones.

Talking New graphics

I came up with this idea that I think is pretty cool, unique, and innovative. its based off of the "blackjack" unionjack flag graphic but I incorporated the color of my CMS(royal grey) in it and came up with this. To my knowledge nobody has done this to there rear spoiler so I guess I will claim the title of designer of this graphic idea hahaha LMK what you guys think....

We installed a Thule rack & basket, sent pictures to the vendor at their request and made it onto their web page. We're pleased with how it turned out:

Nice work! But what's a 'flush rail' on a countryman?

Looks good, but I thought the fairing is suppose to mount onto the crossbars not the basket.

BTW, what percentage tint do you have on your car? Looks really dark, how is the visibility at night?

Made a new exhaust video clip!!

Made a new video of my exhaust with a GoPro mounted on the back. Sounds pretty sick to me.

Let me know what you all think!!


ETA: Not sure why it's posting the video twice. Both videos are the same.

The instructions that came with the basket have it mounted as shown. The tint is 18% and no problems with visibility.

Hey 1bigpea,

Sounds fantastic! Along with your other byte I finally know what mine sounds like since I'm the only one who drives it. Keep up the great work.

1bigpea, Your exhaust sounds great!! I recall your previous post about your exhaust when you were installing it. If I remember you bought the muffler and had the rest bent at a shop? I know it's been a bit but do you recall what the magnaflow part # is for that muffler? It sounds awesome! Magnaflow has a video for the entire kit they sell
but I want to do it myself etc. and need the individual # All of your help is appreciated! Thanks.

Hey MinneMINI, I actually had everything done at the muffler shop. I pulled up, Howard put it on the lift, looked at the setup and then went in back and grabbed the muffler. I didn't get the part # so I'm not really sure which one it is. I can tell you that it has one inlet and two outlets, but other than that I'm not sure.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Nice 1bigpea! I assume that your sport button was on when you took the vids? Can you take some with sport off? Just want to know if it still pops loud when it's off since I won't want that if some popo is around ;-)

Edit, NVM, you are tuned as well, so it won't be an apples-to-apples.
