Hi i am wanting to install a full cat back HKS exhaust on my cooper but am unsure if it will void the warrantry , if so i know that a jhon cooper works exhaust is available but can your bmw dealer install it as they do the conversion and can it be bought on its own , any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers

Don't know about the HKS affecting warranty

have to ask dealer.

JCW exhaust can be bought on it's own, and will be available as a dealer fit from January, else it will just have to be fitted elsewhere.

cheers mate that waz a big help

HKS exaust does not affect your warranty because it does not alter or modify the engine in any way.
Its actually made of a superior quality than the standard.
The reason i know this is because i,m a dealer and ive fitted one.

You should also speak to MOONSHINE as I helped fit his to his COOPER.....it sounds amazing

Please post details and/or a link to the HKS exhaust!

Surely HKS is more accustomed to Japanese street rods? I've always had a soft spot for them! Love the Rx-7! So BAD!!!!

Alex, here is a picture of the system, its a 2 piece, cat back unit, Very pretty and LOUD!!!

I bought it from Zooooom, so he would be the best person to speak to about it to find out where he got it from. I think new price is steep tho at Circa £450.

The finish is superb and the fit is nice with tip dia. is 3" or 3.5", slash cut.

Damn!!!! I hate when i forget to attach images!

dukesantos · Sep 12th, 2002, 04:39 PM

That image looks just like the Mini Mania exhaust I purchased for my Cooper. Same style, same high polish finish, etc. They sell it with an easily installed/removed quiet tip insert that works very well. Perhaps HKS is their supplier for the unit.

Is the HKS loud at idle or just when you are stepping on it?

The HKS exhaust shown, and being discussed above, is for a Mini Cooper.

DinkaDonka actually owns a Cooper S!

its loud when you are on the gas....really loud - but sounds lovely - it crackles and pops on the over run too, which is great. It is louder than normal when tiptoeing around as well, but not outrageously so, it is not a "neddy" noise, bit one definately knows it is not standatd. It also doesn't look to mich like a bean tin which is good!.

to be honest, after two years with it on, i have litterally just taken it off last weekend to see what a difference it makes. Life is much quieter now, i just have induction roar to contend with. I will probably put it back on, but at present i am quite enjoying the quieter drive at the moment.
