R53 in San Francisco - East Bay

Greetings Everyone!

I'm the proud owner of a 2003 R53. I actually joined this forum because I'm trying to get some sage wisdom on changing out my exhaust system (but we'll get to that later).

Just wanted to drop a note and say hi.

Welcome,

And post up some pics.


If you want one of the best sounding exhausts try Milltek.

The Milltek come in the resonated and NON resonated (louder) that can be paired with the high flow header, we have them in stock and FREE Shipping for a Limited time. Also there has been a price drop recently on most systems. With the high flow header I have heard the sound is a little louder then the stock header. Sounds good and no drone.

R53 MINI Cooper S/JCW Milltek and headers options:

Here some videos on the stock header with Milltek.





Here is NON Res cat back vs stock.

Welcome to NAM!

Should post up some pictures of your Mini for us. Would love to see it. If you need any help or want any opinions on some exhaust options feel free to ask. Otherwise, if you need any assistance with working on your Mini you can check out our tech articles here. Maybe we will see you up towards our way (Harbor City) sometime for one of our Coffee & Cars!
