We have had our S for 3 weeks now and we want a bit of grunt out of the rear end.
I have looked over most exhuasts for the S. But the one thing I haven't heard is the noise of any of the exhuasts. I have read pauls review on the playmini exhuast and it sounds like a nice exhuast. But then I have heard people raving over the magnaflow and the noise it make!!

Help please!!

M1N1_ME · Apr 30th, 2003, 12:00 AM

I'm in the same boat. I would like to get an aftermarket exhaust for my MCS but until I actually hear one how can I make the decision? I've listened to a couple of diffrent files of exhausts(Borla, Magnaflow, etc...)and read a bunch of comments. It seems as though I would like to go with the Magnaflow, but I'm concerned it might be too loud/anoying. How do I find a local car to listen to, is it reasonable to expect to find one locally?

Paul · Apr 30th, 2003, 12:05 AM

As soon as I find the charger for the digital video cam I will record the standard S and PlayMini back to back.

I love it.

If you don't mind additional noise(yet more quiet than the magnaflow(do the Quicksilver).Great power gain,sporty sound,distintive tip,and very light.There are numerous threads on exhausts,both here and minicooperonline.I also installed sound deadening from b-quiet.

Will installing a cat back nuke your warranty??

Hi mate it might be worth u ringing some of the exhaust manurfacturers like Magnex, Scorpion or Janspeed cause as far as i know none of these have systems for the S yet u maybe able to get a system done for nothing if u can lend them ur car for a couple of days. Just an idea my mate was going to do this with his lupo GTI with scorpion but got piped by someone could be worth a try

One thing I've seen that looks like an interesting option is this from www.mini-design.com:

http://cnb-host4.clickandbuild.com/c...odCategoryID=5

Wonder if anyone has experience of this system?

Also, www.playmini2.co.uk has sound files of the PlayMini if that's any help.

MiniMan7 · Apr 30th, 2003, 08:29 AM

This sound file compares the stock, borla, quicksilver, magnaflow. Hear it for yourselves, hope it helps.

In order: stock, borla, quicksilver, magnaflow

MiniMan7 · Apr 30th, 2003, 08:32 AM

Damn, sorry, it wasn't able to attach the file...

Southernsun · Apr 30th, 2003, 08:33 AM

get the quicksilver!

ChrisN · Apr 30th, 2003, 08:39 AM

I just installed the Magnaflow. Sounds awesome, definetly revs faster.

MiniMan7 · Apr 30th, 2003, 09:02 AM

I'm getting the magnaflow tomorrow!!! I can't wait!

Paul · Apr 30th, 2003, 06:28 PM

I honestly cant recall, MiniSpares have it, £336.17

http://new.minispares.com/NewMiniSea...s&ShowIcons=No

Kev'sCoop · Apr 30th, 2003, 06:34 PM

Dark Mini · Apr 30th, 2003, 06:41 PM
