Adamesh Straight Pipe Exhaust Vs Mina Galley Exhaust Which Do You Prefer ?

I will be replacing the two rear boxes with straight pipes and quad tips from Adamesh this weekend (if not sooner). I will keep you posted of the difference.
I also brought a wind deflector and 4 clear LED side marker lights from them. They arrived from the UK quicker than my Solo 3 radar detector did from the U.S. which was ordered the same day!
Got to say, Adamesh product is top quality, reasonably priced and great customer service so far. Very impressed.
On a side note: The LEDs arrived with 2 clear side repeaters which I kind of liked. I took the driver’s side wheel well cover off and there attached to the leaper badge was an electrical connector. I took it off and installed a LED bulb...Hey Presto, side repeaters.
I removed the leaper badge (which breaks the tabs in the process amd make the unuseable) and installed the lamp fitting, look great with the clear front side marker.
Now on to the passenger side...how did Jaguar engineers P**S me off today......no electrical connector. Why TF would they do that? It's like they do stuff deliberately to annoy us!
Anyway I made a harness and used and old connector from one of the discarded marker lenses and connected it up, it works just fine.
Just in case anyone wants to do the same..

Karl

I went to fit the new pipes last night, old ones came off easy. Turns out I have the wrong mounting bracket. Apprantly the 2000 MY uses the 4.2 exhaust mounting bracket.
One e-mail to Adamesh and new brackets on on their way by air mail no charge.
Looks like it will be early next week now for the install. I will try an make a beffore and after video.
Thanks,
Karl

Adamesh Exhaust
Sorry guys, I made the videos but they were too big to post even at just 35 seconds each, whats up with that? If anyone knows of a way to post them I will do it.
As a footnote, I went bak to the standard pipes. I just decided I liked the quite unassuming power over the louder rumbley in your ear power!
On the plus side, I have a set of Adamesh straight pipes with twin tips for sale if anyone is intrested?
They are not that load just too loud for me (read old fart)
Thanks

Instead of replacing the standard rear pipes and tips by Adamesh or Mina, has anyone just cut out the two rear boxes and replace that space with two regular straight pipes? Seems like that would get the desired sound in the most cost effective way..right? Would love to hear what that would sound like.

The stock exhaust was designed to make the car as quiet as possible... if you turn up the volume too much, you'll hear that.
