Do you have aftermarket headers too? If yes, which ones?

Woops. Didn't see that post.

I do not have aftermarket headers. As of that point, the only thing on my Cooper was the Megan exhaust. I have since put in a K&N intake, and the sound has changed slightly to a deeper growl. But other than that... everything is stock.

I am one of the few people that has the JCW Sound kit on my car. I love it. I've driven all sorts of modded MINI's, Coopers, Cooper S's, Super charged, turbo charged, super-charged AND Turbo charged (helix), and I think the JCW Sound kit is perfect. It sounds awesome, and there are no fitment issues with any of the oem equipment.
There are a few sound clips of the JCW SK out there, I highly recommend it. Pricey? Yeah, a little. But I think it's worth it. I work for MINI of the Main Line in Philadelphia, if you're looking to order the sound kit for your own car I may be able to help you out on the pricing.

Heres my Megan with K&N with no other motor mods. I love the music and gains in HP in the seat. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...553&pr=goog-sl

Sounds tough! I like it. A friend of mine has a Cooper with a ProMINI intake and a Remus exhaust. Probably the best feeling and sounding Cooper I've ever driven.
