Hi
I am looking to buy a Playmini exhaust for my Cooper. Was woundering which you would recommend buying. The unsilenced link pipe or the silenced link pipe. Also I have the Aero kit will the slash cut fit.

Many thanks

Hi mate yeh the slash cut will fit as i have on fitted on mine with and aero kit personally i would go for the unsilenced one which is the one i have and was recommended to me and its great i am really happy with it! however if u spend most of ur time driving on mottorways i would contemplate having the silencer, hope this helps,

Thanks for your reply. Dont suppose you have any photos of the exhaust fitted to your Mini. I don't realy do alot of motorway driving, mainly town driving so may go for the unsilenced option.

I have just fitted a Playmini TT with the silenced pipe and im well chuffed with it. I went for the silenced pipe because i wasnt keen on having loads of noise in cab. The noise is just right for me, its a lovely deep purr on tickover and nice roar on flooring it. Seems to sound nicer as time goes on probably bedding in, wouldnt want it any loader though!

I originally bought the PlayMini for my previous MINI One and it's a nice quality bit of kit. In the end I took it back before fitting it because I did some research and I gathered it was quite loud, and also I personally think it's a little too big. In the end, I went for the Milltek, which is a really great system. Something to think about.

Thanks for all your replies. I am now considering having the JCW sound kit fitted. I know it doesn't give much of a power increase if any, but I'm still tempted.

The JCW Sound Kit is a good way to go, IMHO. I had it fitted about a year and a half ago and I love it. The exhaust looks great, sounds great (not too loud) and the performance increases, although marginal, are noticeable.

Thanks. I have been considering the JCW kit for months. Finally got the money together to get it, but started thinking about aftermarket mods. But seen as though I have most JCW accessories it would be a shame not to get the JCW kit fitted to add the finishing touch.
