Howdy everyone,
Just seeing if anyone has upgraded their Cooper S exhaust and still have the old original exhaust around.
I am contemplating tinkering and making my own SS exhaust and need a template to work off before jacking up the GF's baby.
Melbourne people only.
Thanks for listening.

Have a chat to your BMW dealer - they throw the Cooper S exhaust away when they fit a Works Kit so you would be saving them disposal fees by taking one off their hands! I'm just not sure how many Works kits are still being fitted at dealerships now that you can order them from the factory

Hey Blacky,

I have a 05 S cat back exhaust if you want to borrow it?

I too have an 05 exhaust sitting around in my garage. PM me if you need to borrow it. FYI i live in lower templestowe, so if it's convenient for you, i'll be happy to oblige

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the prompt repsonses and offers.
I will now have look into the mandrel bends etc, and I might just start myself a little project "one ball", but with a twist.
I will be in contact should I pluck up the courage and get my ass off the computer.

St00ge · May 4th, 2006, 12:34 PM

hehe, any clues as to the "twist" ?

Blacky · May 4th, 2006, 01:11 PM

Sorry, nothing special with the twist.
Just an old school 2.5" single straight thru muffler mandrel cat back system.

I think with a single oval outlet.
Just an idea, thinking of doing a little RR in the garrage.

St00ge · May 4th, 2006, 01:16 PM

i like the idea of the oval outlet, never really was a fan of the stock beer cans, but then that said, i've never seen a set of tips that i like any better (apart from the JCWs)

MiniFr34k · May 5th, 2006, 03:32 AM

Miltek tips are good

Also the tips Andrew H got are great too

AndrewH · May 5th, 2006, 06:50 AM

While expensive for what they are, the nice thing about the "alternate OEM" tips is that they screw straight on, all you need is an allen key

MiniFr34k · May 5th, 2006, 06:52 AM

How much are they Andrew? didnt realise they were expensive (although they are worth the investment)

Just over $190 IIRC

But they are definitely worth it

Frosty_Boy · May 5th, 2006, 01:44 PM

Andrew, what in your opinion makes them worth the $190 you paid for them?

Where did you get them?

Cheers

It's hard to explain but they're not just 2 bits of chrome pipe, they're actually quite complicated pieces of kit

There are plenty of other, in some cases, much cheaper alternatives but I reckon these look the best
