To each his own I guess.

Engine, induction and exhaust noise are one of the most important aspects of the overall driving package of a car.... I can never understand people who buy cars based on how quiet they are? The popping noise on the cooper s is one of my favourite parts of the car... it is hugely addictive. You are clearly someone who buys cars on image and brand rather than for the driving experiance. has it ever occured to you that these "boy racers" use performance exhaust to improve the driving experiance of their cars... better noise and performance.

Why dont you just go and buy a volvo and stop giving mini owners a bad name
