After market mufflers... non S cooper
 

Non S drivers... if any of you have modified or had your exhaust modified with a Magnaflow or "the likes" muffler I'd really like to know what you think. I'm obviously interested in doing something like this to my 2011 non S. I know several muffler shops that do good custom work cheap as in inexpensive. I saw the VIP cat back system... more than I want to spend. Here are a couple of pictures; by the way, I am not looking anything other than looks and sound for this situation. The tips on these mufflers are 4 inches diameter and overall length is 17.5 inches.


Thanks folks...

I have a 2005 Justa.
I put a miltek on mine back in 05. I have had good luck with it. last year I removed the resignator ... mostly for sound reasons.
Now its perfect...not too loud but loud enough!

good luck on your choice!:nod:

Thanks... I bought a Miltek catback for a 2002 Golf VR6 some years back and I too loved it.

I went with a Miltek for my R53, but my justa has the OBX. Reasonably priced, and the sound is subtle when cruising, but develops a nice tone when you hit the gas.

i have a magnaflow XL with resonator delete on my 07 and absolutly love the sound. also throw a spectre intake system on it and ull love the sound.

VIP Custom parts actually makes a bolt on cat-back exhaust for the justa cooper. It's listed for $549.00... I'm not sure what the a Magnaflow system cost for the non s cooper.

sound clip?

also interested in a sound clip

I just installed the VIP on my car. It has a nice tone and no drone, unless you stomp on the gas

That's very cool... how much did you pay for it?
thanks...

exhaust for R56
 

For R56 non s 2007-2012 Remus is making a system that is 3" and a 3.25" tip that you can buy from them direct. Remus is claiming a boost in hp and a nice mellow sound. You can buy direct from them for $670 free freight. Mini Mania will rip you off as they want $695 plus $63 freight (what a bargain for us miniac's huh) also if they have a sale you don't get it on that item because its a special order item only. This seems to be the best sounding and best manufactured system for non s R56

Which part number did you use?

exhaust for R56
 

i used a remus resonater back system part # 754 0060507 rund $670 free freight, if you visit their site there is a sound clip on it, with a k&n cone the sound in enhanced and nice and mellow without being raspy or tineee sounding:thumbsup:

It was around 500 shipped :thumbsup:

yes please! id like to know which one you chose, there are so many and i dont know where to begin to look.

can you get a sound clip or a video? and not just reving but driving away so we can tell how it will sound 98% of the time?

I try to get a sound clip for ya.

Anyone ever gone headers back? I think I remember OxyBlue had done that (I could be off on his screen name since I haven't seen him around lately).

I've really been eying that Remus catback since I read Slimjim Tell's review of his (Clubman S). The quality seems to be there, the sound seems really good and I like the look - it may sound strange, but I like that the back of the muffler is black so you just see that monster exhaust tip. I just see too many fart can mufflers on Honda's around here that are all bright and shiny. They drive me crazy.

What would headers cost? And the pipes in between? I wish you could just take the one side of a Clubman S exhaust and slap it on our straight Coopers. :lol::lol::lol:

i want to sound like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_muBm...eature=related

Crap, I completely forgot to do this. Ill see what I can do.

I heard a sound clip for the S version - definitely a nice tone. Any chance you can post some pics of the tip and muffler? I've yet to see one on a straight Cooper. :thumbsup:

Exhaust
 

As time has gone by did you make a clip?

This sounds really nice, and it's a cooper one. Shame we can't find out the type of exhaust it is.

I finally got a chance to watch that clip - nice sound. And I agree - although you guys both asked for details on the exhaust, no answer. :sad:
