The mid-may Mini meetup was somewhat different from the usual car meetup as this time M Commodities decided to step in the organization of the gathering and treat the Mini Club of Singapore with a special dinner at the Seafood International Market & Restaurant at East Coast to kick off the beginning of the import of a new range of exhausts.
M Commodities is a company catering for aftermarket needs of conti brands, but with a special dedication to Mini, as it is one of the main provider for Original Factory Mini and JCW parts in Singapore and Malaysia
With they own dedicated zone in the carpark in front of the restaurant, a selection of 14 Minis made it down, bringing together people from all walk of life whose definition of a good car includes fun, go-kart handling and pocket size. The colorful gathering featured all types of modifications, from sane, stock Coopers to insanely but tastefully enhanced pocket monsters, and all the degrees of dementia in-between.
When the stomachs began to rumble as loud as modified exhausts, the small crowd was ushered to the Seafood International M&R's specially reserved dining room, where everybody enjoyed a tasty seafood dinner, during which M Commodities revealed the reason behind their sponsorship of this meetup.
M Commodities is now bringing in Innotech Performance Exhausts. These aftermarket exhausts can be fitted on a wide range of continental cars including, of course, Mini, but also Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Lamborghini and more European supercars (with an exception made for the GTR R35), have two very specific features that make them all the more interesting: the first is the F1 Valvetronic system, a remote activated bypass valve which helps freeing more power (power gains backed up by dyno testing) by allowing the exhaust gases to take a shorter way out of the piping, which leads to the second feature: a high-pitched exhaust note reminding of the F1 cars scream. These exhausts come in stainless steel or titanium and their design architecture is such that you could hang one in your living room as a decorative element, although that would be a total waste as it would be much better to keep it under your car, where its form meets its function. Then again, that's just my humble opinion.
For those of you who legality is an issue, M Commodities is has currently submitted the Innotech exhausts for LTA approval, so don’t hesitate and check out M Commodities for your high-pitch exhaust fix, MINI goodies and more!
