Playmini or Milltek

[Braduz]

Need some help! Want a new exhaust and either want a Playmini or Milltek system, i no that the Playmini is a bit cheaper but ive heard that its a bit louder than Milltek and dont want any thing boy racerishh, also ive read that the Playmini exhaust sticks out further than the Millltek,

Any advice on what to get, thanks

Milltek all the way and if you can afford it now or later on get the manifold too. Awesome sound but quiet when driving normally.

Shop around, you won't find anywhere cheaper than from this place motorsportworld.co.uk

Milltek is pretty awesome. Some of my ST friends ran Milltek systems and it made a huge difference.

Have you checked Remus? I've heard good things about them too.

I think i am edging towards Milltek but when you say quiet when driving normally will it still be louder and have a different tone to my standard one fitted now? and thanks for the link to motorsportworld will defiently get it from there if i choose Milltek, best price ive seen by far!!

I assume you have an S? I had the cat back first and it is a louder and deeper tone than stock without being boy racer stupid loud above 4000rpm, just very raspy.

When I could afford it I got the manifold which makes the pops sound like gun shots!

Plus, the tips look a lot better than the stock beer cans.

Oh no sorry i have a Mini One 52 reg, should have put that at first, what exactly is a Manifold they seem very expensive but if worth it i will save

The wonders of Google

Exhaust manifold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why don't you start with an induction kit instead of the exhaust? It won't make much difference in power, but it should be cheaper and sounds pretty cool too!

It sounds like you want your car to sound better?

No i do want an exhaust as the stock one on their looks awful and dont just want to buy a tip, i will get an induction kit too but firstly want an exhaust, i think i will go Milltek just want to be sure it sounds louder than my stock exhaust

Cool man. Well I don't think you can go wrong with Miltek, the quaility is really good. As for sound, maybe check on YouTube if there aren't maybe some clips that might help you decide.

Milltek is a must!

I had mine fitted on my cooper s last month and cant help but drive around with the windows down around towns and it is December...

Also, burbles when you let your foot off... even gives a little pop in between short gear changes if you leave the gap long enough.

When past 4000 rpm the exhaust is shouting out the most satisfying noise which always puts a smile on my face!

P.S. Isnt loud at all on the motorways! Cant go wrong!!

[Braduz]

Went for a milltek in the end very pleased with it, and i agree with you driving around with the windows down haha, cant help but give it a little rev when at idle too

Would still like to see how it compares to the playmini still but am very happy it also looks the nuts!

Good job! Enjoy it!
