Do you like this exhaust?

[Minty]

Well...do ya? or dont ya?

It is developed for the ONE and Cooper, i dont have any performance figures...but is suposed to sound sweet, and i've been told its under £200

[moonshine]

No - not my cup of tea - looks a bit of a bean tin.....

[zoooooom]

It would look at home on a Nova

[Loui]

Minty who`s it made by, Ashley exhausts?
Not really my cup of tea but if its made by them it should be good for the money, mind u they are only mild steel not stainless if its made by them.

No I hate it, it represents everything I dont like about modifying cars and trying to make them something they are not.

It looks like it's just given birth to a MINI! I prefer a more naturally-proportioned orifice

[Dom]

looks like a peco

The playmini is a cat back system (not just the box like that one) for £200... go for that.

Alternatively, wait until February and if my exhaust isn't sold with the car, you can buy that

While everyone else seems to be able to judge size in a picture without any reference, I cannot. Wondering how big is it?

and MCprs, how in the world can that one exhaust represent 'everything you don't like about modifying car'. And how is it trying to be anything but an exhaust? Probably a loud one that sounds like a fat dude farting, but all the same it certainly doesn't represent the evil of the world (just simply someones bad taste in engine sound, lots of people like country, and that is certainly not palatable either - to each their own).

People are so sensative about 'ricers' and other inanities. So what if they want to waste money and make their cars look stupid; it drives the economy, creats jobs, and makes the products WE want to buy cheaper.

Eh, sorry about the rant, I'm at work. That should explain it well enough.

the pipe on the cat side of the box is about 2.5 inches, therefore the tip looks about 4.5 - 5 inches or so in diameter -way too big for my taste. You could probably put your fist up it!!
I think it looks terrible. The HKS pipe i have is 3 - 3.5 inch diameter and i think that that is about as big as one can go without looking stupid.

To be honest I wrote it expecting to be censored AGAIN, for not conforming.

Still I really hate cars that have gimmicy things stuck on them to 'make them look special' and for me a Coke tin mascarading as an exhaust sums it up.

[Minty]

phew...not just me then!!! the 'pre-production' photo they sent me was much better...a single upswept pipe...much better looking.

Just wanted people opinions on it.

It is made by Ansa Exhausts in Italy, part of Arvin Meritor...

DOM....do i get first refusal mate??? How much you want?

I will weigh in on the anti side.
I really hope I don't see these things hanging off of Minis in my area. I am sick to death of the sewer pipe exhaust tip look and wish people would just get over it.
If there was a legitimate performance reason for the size I would have no argument but it is like seeing someone with a 6" gold zodiac sign hanging arround their neck. Just bad taste.

But... that is just my opinion.

Ok, if it doesn't sell with the car

they are all right, it`s more of a NOVA mod, ask around, there are companies making exhausts that actually look, sound and add the performance you want.Although you need to get more than the back box
