I'm doing a survey of the most popular MINI Cooper exhausts out there. Please go here and vote. Write in your candidate if I've not discovered it yet, I'll update the list. It is a 1 question survey. 1 click and done.
It is a very useful thread, and just lately, I took it over since the original starter is no longer a MINI owner.
There is no parallel thread here, and PurpleFenderMan (hereafter "PFM") said - "Hey, I wanna help you put together a Guide for us Cooper folks!" (Right PFM?)
From this survey data, we will create a guide that has pictures, links to reviews, sound and video, hard data on the type, materials, etc. of the top exhausts (or until PFM gives up on me).
So - hit it boys (and ladies)!!!

One survey in the first 2 minutes. Strong!
Whoever added Miltek - I added it to the list.

Voted other which would be the miltek. Best sounding justacooper exhaust in my opinion and I've heard them all.
Other comments I left: Low rumble at idle, screams at the high end, and has no highway drone. Resonator has been known tohave a baffle come loose and rattle (really annoying) and requires getting the exhaust replaced (or just that part) or cut the resonator out all together or have it replace with a glass pack. I went the glass pack route and noticed no change in sound. Rattle is gone, though, which is what I wanted.
If I was to go with a different exhaust it would be the megan.
i have a magnaflow + DDM intake combo, and my car sounds epically awesome imho.
not subtle by any means, it does drone at some speeds esp at zero throttle (engine breaking at highway speeds) and my roomate can hear my coming from a block or tow away...
the sound is addictingly awesome (which doesn't help my gas mileage)

i alread voted but, do you have playmini or blueflame on there? it would be nice to get some reviews on them as well. they're a bit harder to get here in the U.S.

Noone claiming to have one yet. Only 20 votes thus far. Keep bumping to get this in front of other owners.

I'll put in my $.02 after my Borla is done tomorrow.
Oh, wow, is the Borla worth every penny or what. Very nice, deep rumbly-ness at idle, not a hint of rice at all. Even a slight pop at idle. I'm sure it'll sound rediculous after some miles and break-in time.
i didn't know m7 made a cooper exhaust
also bump lolz
Someone thinks they do - actually I think it was the Powertone. M7 doesn't sell anymore, but company sells direct.
Yep - I'll be darned. Picture from Powertone.com:

Miltek for me...Nice tone, not too loud and it was on the car when I bought it
