Quicksilver Cat-Back Exhaust

Hi All

Was just wondering if anyone had installed a Quicksilver centre exit cat-back system on their ONE or Cooper. I know its a MCS system but it is sold by Cool New to fit onto a ONE/Cooper since it only uses one back-box that fits where the orginal silencer does on the ONE/Cooper and the right side of the MCS and can come with a new rear trim allowing it to fit onto a ONE/Cooper.

The only MINI ONE/Cooper I've seen with it installed was the replica MCS in this months GoMINI (page 66-70). That guy races GT3's so I would think he knows what he's on about but figures show a 8-9BHP increase on an MCS but I'm guessing it would be lower on the ONE/Cooper since with the MCS it reduces the weight considerably.

SO... anyone got any good guesses or information on the rough performance increase if this system was stuck on a ONE? Also will a cat-back system reduce back pressure that much to be worth £480?

Any info would be great. Cheers for taking the time to read this (bit long I know LOL )
