Hi - please help
I have just bought a 2002 Cooper S with the Hartge conversion - what is the best best exhaust I can pop on this min please?

PS - I like some growl........

James@fomsport · Jun 28th, 2008, 11:25 AM

Well I had a Milltek on mine, and that sounded rather sweet

I would go with a RMW (revolution mini works) full exhaust system, that will give you all the growl you need

Good to hear you like it Johart

How are you getting on with the Hartge?

Lucky Dave · Jul 23rd, 2008, 07:14 PM

Milltek all day long and if from a good supplier then you will be backed up with good warrenty

She is ace thank you, a real poppet of a car to drive probably the most awesome car I have had. Looking at changing the intercooler next and doing some other performance mods. What do you think to yours?

I px' ed a Civic Type R for it & have to say I much prefer the Mini

. The conversion (including Milltek + manifold) was already on the car when I bought it just over 3 years ago & no problems to report (so far!). Surprised a lot of my passengers & also some drivers of more powerful cars with the power that a 'little' 1.6 engine can produce

.

I bought a second hand GRS intercooler a short while ago & when my new set of blue snoot boots arrive I'll be bolting it straight on, be much kinder to the engine with all this hot humid weather.

Cheers
John

Big Grins all round then, as I too took some passengers (people who drive fast cars

) and gave them a surprise!!

Agree too, much kinder to the engine especially Sunday when mega hot! Having some silly posy bits on Friday - new pretty cooling vents... in white to go with the roof and mirrors - gonna work out how to put pics on here tonight

Cheers - Jo
