Minster,

Congrats on the new company and the new exhaust. So, I guess this was the BIG news you were talking about.

Good luck with the new business.

Seriously, It does look great and I am one of those that would be looking for the dual I can wait I guess.

Grats on the new enterprise and hope to see more products soon!!!

Diam I must have missed the voting... I like the dual as well since it keeps with the 2 pipe theme. THat would be my choice.

However, 1 pipe is definitely lighter though.

Waiting for sound file.

Richard,

How/where did you come up with the name "MINUNI"? Just curious.

Well I think I know where the MIN comes from. Who's UNI?

Considering this is a quite a bold move I bet it's your wifes name, no?

For those of you concerned about single pipe think of it like this:
Why does a 4 cylinder have dual tips? I mean, it's got one bank of cylinders that fire sequentially over one cycle (four strokes, two revolutions). And the bank feeds into one pipe and only splits into two near the rear axle. This split is probably the major restriction or cause of turbulence in the system.

The reason is: LOOKS. It is one of the few ricey elements on the car.

So why would you replace the standard exhaust with another exhaust that doesn't look much different, doesn't perform much different, doesn't weigh much less and, if it weren't for the original being two tipped, would be considered RICE (think about that). The sound! Oh please.

With a single tipped exhaust you get the sound, a weight reduction, better performance (both the Indy Pace S2000 and the one racing in the GTP race had a single tip), and a purposeful look (for the posers... like me ). And you'll standout from the crowd of lookalike Neuspeed, HKS, etc crowd.

Now Mingster, you can send that freebie to......

Mingster, that looks nice! I've been watching a video with the Spoon S2000 in it, and I love the sound of that exhaust, and I'd like to hear clips of your exhaust too.

I thought "UNI" was from the sushi. You like it so much that you had to incorporate it into your business name!
