All petrol gen 1 minis use the same manifold.

Hi

It not you manifold causing the loud exhaust it's the Milltek
Have a look under your car see it someone has removed the center resonator from the exhaust system ( the resonator is roughly mounted below you gear lever )
if it has been removed it will make it louder.
Hope this helps

resonator is still there, i watched on you tube before and after cooper s with milltek and milltek/janspeed manifold, the one without janspeed manifold was defo quieter, ive ordered standard cat and manifold and hopefully will get it fitted friday and report back, i cant live with the exhaust noise. the alta induction kit is to noisy to, got original airbox so might put that back in or incorporate the alta in the airbox like ive seen a few people do
