need a nice sounding (can i just change muffler?)

Hello,

I have a 2004 cooper s, and a very small budget. I was wondering what would be my best option for a nice deep growling exhaust? Is it possible to just change the muffler on the standard exhaust system and still get a nice sound? I only have around £300, which I know must be impossible to get anything decent. But any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

A decent cat back should give you what you're looking and if not within budget, pretty near to...

Check out Milltek Sport - they come highly recommended by plenty of MINI owners.

really?! so with around £300 I can get a decent cat back? what would you recommend? is this something I can do myself or has to be done professionally? I do things like oil changes myself, so just wondering if this is doable.... thanks
