Default Exhaust

Has anyone installed the Mina Exhaust for the S type? Does it sound like the stock XK 2007? Also, does anyone have any experiance doing a chrome wheel exchange?

I have the MINA exhaust and I would say save your money!! It's on my 2005 STR and is VERY quiet. I guess the tips look better and the mufflers or "Boxes" are lighter.

Now I only have the tail end of the complete system so maybe you would notice more with a full cat back setup?? I sure did not get any power increase!! Here is a picture of the mufflers. Very pretty and high quality polished stainless steel. Too much money for what you get. Here are the MINA mufflers.




I got the wheels chromed at LA wheel exchange. They are on EBay. You must have the exact same wheels not chromed. Then they ship you a set of chrome ones and you return yours. I have had them over a year and am starting to get corrosion in the small nooks and crannies but still look good.

I lvoe my mina gallery exhaust! But then again i didnt pay retail, THANK YOU EBAY! Honestly though clubairth1 is correct on saying they are overpriced. However... if your into the whole "sleeper" thing (like me) your gonna love em. Makes it loud enough to not be stock, but quit enough to not bother the girl friend, A big benefit for me personally.

Most have gone with the magnaflow set up, which is the best bang for your buck, when going for horsepower. My adivse is to listen / drive a car with either system and see which one fits your personality more.

cheers

I also got my MINA exhaust on EBay for less than half the retail price and it's still about double what it should be!!

Now the used blower I got was a MUCH better deal!!!
