Just how many choices are there for an aftermarket exhaust for a one or cooper in the UK and which is the best of the bunch, and where abouts to purchase?

I know of the PLAYMINI exhausts and the HKS exhuast but are there any more?

Thanks zimbo

I had a JCW Cat-back exhaust fitted to my ONE at JCG two weeks ago and it sounds awesome - plus as well as having the engraved tip the whole exhaust is stainless steel..

I also had the JC Motorsport cone air filter installed and it sounds like one of the Mini Challenge cars now - awesome sports car sound..

Exhaust cost about £450 including fitting..

ok strange question but does anyone know where i can get some sound clips of cars with diff exhausts on am considering getting a diff exhaust but would like to hear some smaples so i can go to garage and say i want it to sounds like this pls instead of just saying i want it lound :0)

You're better deciding on a specific exhaust rather than just going to a garage and saying "I want it to sound like this".

Playmini, Milltek, Borla, this are all respected exhausts. There are of course loads more.

If you do a search on the forums (click Search above), there's a thread somewhere with a lot of exhaust clips in it, and even some videos IIRC.

Good luck!

the exhaust will be custom made to my liking hence would like to have a rough idea of what i want it to sound like ;0)
