Mini Cooper S R53 Scorpion Exhaust Fitting and Sound Test

[@CTurnerPhotos]

This is the most cinematic exhaust installation video I’ve ever come across lol 👏🏾

[@MrLandooz]

Really cool cinematography. Looks a million bucks!

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Thank You!

[@benwalkingshaw2469]

The visuals on this are top notch! Class job and lovely car :)

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Thank You!

@@hillsidecarspray6580 agree - very enjoyable experience

[@williambronner5114]

I’m very glad to see some good cuality production/content on YT, since now a days people just uploads whatever shity thing they make. I have an r53 so definitely a sub from 🇲🇽.

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Thanks for your support, it means a lot!

[@whitedragon1729]

came here just cause i wanted to get a clue as to what my r53 would sound like with this exhaust but i think imma stick around for the long run, this some high qual videography and a lot of effort for a 2nd video on a 60~ sub channel. GJ bro and looking forward to more content

[@whitedragon1729]

p.s. were about you based fyi? i live in the uk and im assuming you run some kinda shop

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Hi. Thanks for your feedback 👍🏻 Im running body shop in Dublin.

[@Onizukachan915]

I agree, nice work.

[@michaelking42]

Nice video mate, that took some time to set the camera/s up and edit it into a nice, noise free, small doco. I just ordered Scorpion headers for my R53 from Oli, really looking forward to gummies!

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

😂😂 you will get them no doubt. Thanks for your kind words on the video 👍🏻

[@mindsupportnz3390]

Stunning video - real pleasure to watch 😊

[@pixel-gamma]

Great video production, great song, great car and a lot of care taken. Got a new sub :) - I also love the sound of the scorpion exhaust on my r53 :)

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Thank you so much ;) 👍🏻

[@gomerdubs]

Are you pleased with your r53 exhaust

[@pixel-gamma]

@@gomerdubs yes, great sound but not obnoxious

[@scooperr5311]

Very nice Video! =) Hopefully your rear bumper will not get burned by the exhaust.

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Thanks! No it will not, I readjusted it after a week of driving, now it's spot on ;)

[@scooperr5311]

@@hillsidecarspray6580 Great! 👍 My first exhaust on my R53 left some marks in my bumper 🙄😂

[@tom.northshore]

@@hillsidecarspray6580 I would get heat fabric. I have a few wraps around the piping where the exhaust goes under the rear bumper. It's well worth it and if done properly looks great as well.

[@sshaunss]

Was just about to start this but didn’t have any haribos 😅

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

[@Daniel-we2kw]

Great video. Where did you purchase your Scorpion exhaust and for how much?

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Thanks! I've bought it from Orranje in UK it was £599 if I remember correctly.

[@alexandergroe5187]

hi, thanks for the video. do you have the 163ps or 170ps mini?

[@MacLaw3084]

how loud are those “gun shot” like pops when standing a bit away from the car?

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Hi. Not too loud, sometimes it can pop a bit louder or quieter it depends. To get loud pops you'd need non resonated exhaust I believe, however this one (resonated) is just right for me.

[@leomotorbike]

Sorry but I cannot really hear diffrecnces between the stock exhaust and the scorpion.

[@LUXFEE_AUTOMOBIL]

It's best! May I know the title of the bgm in the video?

[@Lukksia]

where and how did you get the infotainment screen in there?

[@jareds3719]

Where did you purchase the center digital display?

[@dha588]

Why is your repair shop so dark?

[@snoopyB83]

Hi there, can I just ask is this the resonated scorpion cat back?

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Yes, resonated one

[@sleepercell9926]

Have you got to remove the battery undertray to fit it?

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Yeah battery undertray had to go

[@sleepercell9926]

@@hillsidecarspray6580 Damn it. I love the way that undertray looks like some kind of mini diffuser. I wanted to keep mine. I'm looking at exhausts to buy right now and seem to be limited to either Miltek or a used JCW one if I can find one. I like the Direnza exhaust too but i think the undertray has to go for that aswell.

[@sleepercell9926]

@@hillsidecarspray6580 Can you fit the battery tray back on afterwards or is it a definite no no. I love the way it loos like a little mini diffuser on R53's I do like the scorpion exhaust though.

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Yeah, I managed to put it back on however it needs some cutting to make it fit nicely

[@sleepercell9926]

@@hillsidecarspray6580 AH okay. Resonated scorpions cost as much as the resonated Milteks now so I think I'll go the miltek option for a more OEM fit.

[@ReggieRGN]

How much of a pain in the arse is it to retrofit infotainment? It's either that or I buy one with a chrono pack and switch out the decals cause as much as I love an R53 I just don't like the centre speedo 😬

[@InMyMind2304]

I have the same display. It’s stock. Back then you could chrono pack or navigation.

[@NDPhotonl]

Nice production value! I'm missing some bass in the exhaust note, is that a characteristic of the exhaust or from the microphone/camera? For people searching for a cheaper alternative for the Scorpion or Milltek, check out my review of the Gravity Performance exhaust here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3umaYuPl5alhtk

[@hillsidecarspray6580]

Thanks for your feedback. Regarding the sound it's probably my error having some trouble with sound levels in Davinci, also it's Bmpcc4k onboard mic's as I forgot proper mic at home when filming last part of the video :) happens
