Yup I will!
I looked at it and admired the day I can drive it. Stupid recall!

Rasp terminated!!!
After driving for the first 20 minutes I feel like I just performed a vasectomy on the car. While the Eisenmann exhaust screams, the tone is now smoother and all low to mid bass. It sounds a bit like an aggressive M54B30 now.
I didn't know what I had until I reduced the rasp 95%. I did feel partially empty when I gave it! But it sounds like nothing is broken. LOL. I'll see how it goes as I drive it more. The resonator probably needs to break in more with heat. My stock untouched section 1 is sitting at the side of the house ready to provide rasp when I want it back.
My 2005 Mini Cooper got some love today (143,500 miles) :
- oil filter housing gasket
- valve cover gasket
- oil pan gasket
- spark plugs
- fuel filter
- transmission fluid
- engine air filter
She will be around for a while ! :thumbup
That's quite the list. Good stuff!Quote:

Everything is more broken in after driving for over an hour now. Every time I stopped it smelled sweet. All the good manufacturing stuff burning away!
I'm getting used to the smoother/more refined tone. My friend said on the outside when I give it, about 10% of the rasp escapes at the mid rev range and up.
This is what the AR20 looks like inside:

The inside looks like the old glass packs we used to put on our cars in high school back in the seventies...
What's that on the other pipe? resonator?
All this in 1 day? You go boy!Quote:
