Hi All

Was just wondering if anyone had installed a Quicksilver centre exit cat-back system on their ONE or Cooper. I know its a MCS system but it is sold by Cool New to fit onto a ONE/Cooper since it only uses one back-box that fits where the orginal silencer does on the ONE/Cooper and the right side of the MCS and can come with a new rear trim allowing it to fit onto a ONE/Cooper.

The only MINI ONE/Cooper I've seen with it installed was the replica MCS in this months GoMINI (page 66-70). That guy races GT3's so I would think he knows what he's on about

but figures show a 8-9BHP increase on an MCS but I'm guessing it would be lower on the ONE/Cooper since with the MCS it reduces the weight considerably.

SO... anyone got any good guesses or information on the rough performance increase if this system was stuck on a ONE? Also will a cat-back system reduce back pressure that much to be worth £480?

Any info would be great. Cheers for taking the time to read this (bit long I know LOL

)

ur lookin bout 4-5bhp increase to be honest id prefer to get a custom one or one that you know is good like a pay mini iv gone for powerflow myself as its independent garage and i know the geezer!

Thing is powerflow is custom, not made for the car so gains are going to be less.

Quicksilver are arguably the best custom exhaust manufacturer in the UK, i think i'll end up getting their full exhaust.

Must admit Rob it was the good things I'd heard about Quicksilver that drew me to them initially.

Now its also the fact that theyre one of the few manufacturers to do a centre mounted system for the ONE/Cooper. The only other company to make one to my knowledge is Laser F1 and I've heard mixed results - in fact I think the majority weren't impressed.

So you reckon 4-5 BHP?

Cheers guys

Yeah i'd say that power is possible, i got the same output on my Clio's exhaust which is quite free flowing. I have been told that the Mini's exhausts are quite restrictive too which brings promise...

Yeah that is good news Rob

Now gotta make the decision between exhaust and R99 alloys
