Post Piccies of your Exhausts here

Hi All,

There are loads of threads on here about which exhausts are better than others but there are very few pictures of how these exhausts look when they are on the car.

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where we can all post pictures of our beautiful mini's showing off the various exhausts you've got fitted. Maybe add in a bit to say how satisfied your are with it as well.

So come on guys, get your rears out!!!!! Here's mine...

Standard exhaust, no problems with it so far, decent sound for a standard exhaust but I could do with a more beefy tone.

Berthil · Dec 22nd, 2006, 07:57 PM

My Milltek cold and hot

BRG-Mini-One · Jan 2nd, 2007, 12:38 AM

The Hargte and the Supersprint look awesome!

malc195 · Jan 5th, 2007, 02:52 PM

I fitted a Janspeed system with the 2 31/2" slash cut pipes the noise was absolutely rediculous. That was without the optional straight through pipe. I contacted Janspeed & was told that he would look into the problem & get back to me. It never happened. If anyone is considering buying one for road use forget it. I now have the standard system fitted with the four branch manifold.

Hi Crudgey the exhaust sounds really good and pops a lot as well.

Its a cat back system with the straight through center section.

JG.26 · Jan 6th, 2007, 04:05 PM

This was the Eisenmann Cat Back I had fitted to my S. Complete waste of £875.00

and had to fork out for a new original system and bumper trim that the exhaust damaged. STEER CLEAR !!!

Dibby · Jan 8th, 2007, 12:43 PM

Thanks for all your replies so far guys, there are some excellent and exotic systems here.

Any other examples from cars with the aero rear bumper fitted? Anyone had any difficultes fitting aftermaket pipes with the aero bumper?

Anyone out there with a borla or other less common makes?

Thanks again fellas.

Any one have an Alta Sportone ? I have one on order and am very impatietly waiting for it to come in the mail (I have been able to keep myself to only making 2 daily trips to the post office)
Just wondering what it looks like installed.
Ill post as soon as it gets here and I find time to put it on.

electric_cooper · Jan 11th, 2007, 11:36 PM

think its the rear silencer that mini offer, but sounds awesome and IMO looks sweet

Shinka · Jan 14th, 2007, 04:01 AM

Well, I had an Alta exhaust. Had tons of problems getting it aligned and trying to make it stop rattling, to no avail. It sounds great though (when it's not rattling). Supposedly, they've fixed the alignment problems now, and my car could have just been defective or something.

Alta exhaust crooked:

This is the most recent device implemented to get the thing to stay straight:

But I still ended up with a melted rear valence:

So now it was time for a replacement since I had already spent way too many hours under the car and I wanted something that would just work. I ordered a Milltek.
Here's the Milltek ready to be installed:

And here it is installed:

Perfectly centered the first time!!!

Good Post

This is exactly the problem I had with my Eisenmann Cat Back in that it wouldn't stay put and was thudding around underneath the car. Eventually the nearside box shifted backwards and was resting on the black bumper trim and merrily melting it away. I was sooooo peeved off with that exhaust as it made a lovely sound. I bought it as I thought German exhaust on a German car = good fit, how wrong was I. Wished I had gone with the Miltek now as they seem a good fit with few probs, however I wasn't going to get bitten twice and fitted a new BMW exhaust back on and a new bumper trim.

Shinka · Jan 14th, 2007, 10:19 PM

Yeah, I can understand that. The Milltek was so easy to install, and it was centered perfectly the first time.

minioneandrew · Jan 16th, 2007, 02:43 PM

Milltek on my one. Very pleased!

LordOfTheFlies · Jan 23rd, 2007, 12:50 AM

Here's my UUC Motorwerks Exhaust:

Installed @ 1200 miles

@ 42000 miles

Love the exhaust, great burble, nice power..Not too crazy about the gaskets that rusted completely out and had to be replaced....
