Right I've had my R50 a few months now and it's time to start with the modifications!! I'm a couple of weeks from affording a Bluefin which I'm deffo getting, now it's the exhaust. I've seen a couple of videos on Youtube, one was MiniPetrolHead's nice sounding Milltek, and the other was of some guys Playmini. I really like the sound of the Playmini and I think it's fairly cheap too, the cheapest I've seen the Milltek catback is £395, whereas the Playmini just over £200.
Anyone got these on their One's or advice for which one to get? Any vids would be nice too
I would recommend the Milltek. The PlayMini is an excellent system, don't get me wrong, but I think the Milltek has the edge, and I think most will probably agree. I had a Milltek on my last MINI and it was fantastic.

I would go Milteck, they are a really top notch system as they make all the performance exhausts for the Super Cars in the world. So they know what they are doing, plus you can opt for either a silenced or an unsilenced version depending upon how loud you want it. My exhaust has the silencer on it but am thinking of getting the unsilenced pipe so i can see how loud it really is and whether i like it or not.
Id go milltek, although my mate had a magnaflow on his cooper (i have one on my s) and it sounded fantastic! cant comment on larini's as ive had no experience with them but they have a good name!
Both sound really good. Jonmorgan did you say that the Larini does not affect your Mini warranty? I take it the Milltek does!! Does anyone have videos of these? (Seen yours already MiniPetrolHead!! )
I love the Magnaflow on my MCS too! I'm sure the Milteks are great. I was in a car with one once. Nice. Much quieter than mine or a MCS with a Borla sport I drove. Personally I like the louder sound. Seems like the MINI community really likes the Miltek exhausts.
they both have the same effect on warranty as each other, the part you fit will not be covered, and if something ever did go wrong which could be blamed on that part then you wouldn't be covered. But changing an exhaust hasn't ever caused an engine to blow as far as I am aware, so get it done
Ok, so either both Larini and Milltek provide exhaust systems for the supercars of the world or someone's mistaken... can anyone confirm which of these two exhaust specialists are contracted by the supercar manufacturers to fit their OEM exhausts - rather than just confirm that both make exhausts that will fit onto a supercar?
