As for the coolant yes I have topped it up a fraction, not much though, didn't think much about it after having the car just over a year and with 18,000 miles on it. I've also done it with previous cars too, so I'm kinda surprised with your comments.... I also thought it was part of routine maintenance like your Mini dealer!

It'll never change the sound much as it's a closed airbox. If you want more noise you need an open filter like ALTA's. I want to keep the OEM look and don't want it to sound too modified either.

The GTT stealth cat should add a bit more noise too so hopefully a decent balance but not over the top.

I stand to be corrected, but my belief is that if your coolant level ever needs topping up, then there is a leak somewhere. Apparently the Thermostat housing is the likely culprit on both the R53 and R56
