Cabrio S Milltek Question

Does anyone know if a Milltek exhaust for a Cabrio S will fit a regular Cooper S?
Does anyone know what is different between the two exhausts?

Thanks

depends on the age of the tintop S, the hangers did change direction on the MCS when the chassis was updated in preparation for the MCSC, but other than that yes it would fit, even with the direction change I'm sure it could be modified to fit if need be

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

If it's anything like the std exhaust it will have a flattened section of pipe ( before rear silencers ) to clear the strengthening brace fitted to cabrio's. If this is correct it will fit a hardtop, though the restriction may reduce performance slightly.

Forgot to mention that they are both 2005 MINIs.

Anyone have any pics of the Cabrio S Milltek pipes?

if both are 2005 then it will fit then

the miltek pipes do not vary between tintop and convertible, so have a look at the exhaust you are buying to see the pipes
