Talking Can you fit an OEM cat back in a Mini??

This may seem a strange question but...

If I bought a new cat back exhaust, would I be able to get all of the relevant replaced parts of my stock system in the back of my R53 Cooper S (seats down)?

I would like to keep it!

Thanks

Oh ok thanks!

To be honest I don't really have a clue which sections come off. I was hoping to pack it up in the back.

Sounds like some of it would be sticking out my windows!

Cheers

I managed to fit one in my mini, but it took a little persuasion. You'll need to tilt the front passenger's seat all the way back, then slide it back as far as it will go. Feed it in to the passenger's footwell via the boot and it will fit (just). I'd suggest fastening it with the seatbelt too, just to make sure it stays put.
