Hi all.
I am currently shopping around for a new manifold for my Cooper S. I have been doing tons of research on all the different makes/models out there and am still just as confused as when I started!

I have started this thread so people with a milltek cat-back and any aftermarket manifold can put in their comments on noise levels, performance etc etc and any problems with emissions come MOT time, or the emissions warning light.

The main thing I want from a manifold is increased noise, from the already beautifully sounding Milltek cat-back exhaust.

I have read that a freer flowing cat can lead to more noise, as can wider primaries and collectors - but it is difficult to tell from videos and reviews just how loud things really are

SO if you have got an aftermarket manifold and a milltek cat-back please post your comments on your setup here, your help will be very much appreciated!

Thank you
