Guys,

When you first get this exhaust, I think you'll find it's almost 'chavy' (dare I say it!), but after 70+ miles, it gets deeper; closer to stock, but with a nice boom when you put the throttle down... I'm absolutely loving it!

Baskers did it go straight on? Or was there any modification to do to get a good fit?

Carolyn,

There was a modification... the hangers that I had meant that the box literally sat right up inside the car, and touched the underside...

They put spacers on this, and it sorted the problem out fine. Good fit, nice and centre, no rattle, no rubs. Any decent exhaust place should be able to do it

Like I said people, give this exaust time, and then it's simply superb!

I'm sure that's easily sorted for an exhaust place though? Fingers crossed it is anyway - I've got a window of an hour to get it fitted tonight before I have to go and play football, so it had better work

Just wondering, is yours a pre or post facelift?

If you have a look on the lohen website. They have pictures of the two different tips available so that will give you an indication of what it should look like!

For us mini one and cooper owners it was £217.

At the start of this thread or possibly the one in the lohen section states the prices in a pdf document

Oh my goodness!!! I love it!! Just got back from getting it fitted!! Sounds great. Bassy, not boomy and definitely not chavy! Can't wait for it to settle to see what it sounds like! Pops so much more easier as well!

Hell no!!!!

I have heard it on an S and a cooper thus far. Cooper S is imense and so is the cooper!!

I have only heard the cooper s after it has settled and the cooper whilst is still settling. Both are amazing!
