Is torque improved after installation, or is all of the power in the upper range? There are not many MINI Cooper owners in the U.S. with the Milltek system and I would like to pose this question to those of you across the pond that are more familiar with it. I couldn't find any numbers/specs on the Milltek site. I am interested in the catback, not the full system (cat/header).

I understand that the Milltek is rather quiet, but as long as it has a deeper, sportier note I will be happy with it. I was not able to find a sound clip of the exhaust for the Cooper, but I did find a clip of the system for the S (with a comparison vs. stock) and really like the change. Is the Cooper very similar?

All feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure whether this is relevant to the MINI, but I installed a Milltek catback on my Audi S4 (twin turbo) and I definitely noticed a loss of low-range torque.

......certainly increased the pulling power at the upper-end though

coz the catback comes with a 3" piping on the S4, hence the loss of low end power in oppose to the 2.75" on the OEM one (i think thats the measurement) I have milltek on my RS4, S3, and now ordered for the Cooper S. I have to say their product is one of the best

Defiantely frees up the rev!@!!
