While fitting Eibach's to the Mini One, I noticed the backbox is almost rotten! Pretty poor for a 2002 car if you ask me

Anyway, it got me thinking

Without going to the expense of a full system, does anyone know if there are any companies out there who make a stainless steel backbox for the Mini One which would have a subtle exhaust note and a nice tail pipe? Not really expecting any performance increase seeing as its merely a backbox...

Any help much appreciated - names and prices!

Powerflow is theobvious one. They have dealers all over the UK.

I wouldn't buy Powerflow, I think they are overpriced and my local agent can't weld.

Any other suggestions for who does backboxes? Do Janspeed do anything for the Mini?

£250 for a backbox alone is a little steep but cheers anyway!

Rob, I still have my MCS standard backbox from when I changed to the JCW one, would you fancy that?
