Folks, I have just gotten to the point where those two big fat silver cannisters hanging down below Polly's trim lines are bugging the you know what out of me. I like the looks of the tailpipes, and the sound is okay (a little too quiet perhaps), but I'm afraid it has to go.

Any recommendations for an exhaust system with less visible cannisters and a slightly more rorty sound (with less weight as a bonus) would be greatly appreciated.

 

Milltek...

 

Borla Sport.
It is loud so you might want to drive in a Mini with it installed. I had the Borla Sport installed on my 2003 MCS. I recently installed the Borla Sport on my 2006 GP because I thought the JCW exhaust was too quite. I also agree with you on the looks of the JCW canisters. The Borla Sport has smaller canisters. I live in Santa Maria, CA if you want to test drive and can not find someone closer.

Hello Boneman,

I just finished to intall a Larini exhaust in a GP, removed the JCW.

the Larini mufflers are so small, they stay tucked underneath, when you look at the car from behind, you can not seen them.

Also, the larini we installed, does not have a resonator like the JCW.

Our customer liked the sound, and mentioned that he could feel an increase of torque aroud 4000

Let me know if you would like some pictures,

Feel free to call or PM if you ahev any questions

Thanks
Victor

 

Hey There!

If you get something to replace the JCW exhaust, I would be interested in taking them off your hands!

Just PM me if you are interested.

+1 You can barely see the cans, plus the fit and sound are top notch

 

MyMini sport exhaust.. looks great , sounds great is light weight....

I call "dibs" on your JCW exhaust if you are selling it! I am local to you, too.

 

i'll be in line for jcw exhaust thank u very much.

The Gonads take some getting used to, but once you accept them, man, they are BADAS$!!

 

One more for Borla Race (aggressive)

no low hanging cajones and it really isnt loud at all. Its not obnoxious.

Its the first perf mod I made on the JCW and does get 2 more HP according to a dyno test on MINI2.

 

If you look three posts before yours minut....you'll see that I already called "Dibs"....

I like the Milltek. You can't see the mufflers from the rear of the car plus if you like the JCW tips. The Milltek tips look similiar. It also has a nice low tone to it and when opened up it sounds very good.

BTW, the JCW exhaust from the factory is a one peice kit. How would you ship something like that without it costing a fortune?

 

its the weight that counts. I shipped a JCW exhaust. No biggie

 

Please find below the picture of the Miltek and the Larini



AND THE LARINI

Milltek. No muffler hang-down. Still not too loud, but throaty. Tips look almost exactly like the JCW tips.

I'm getting one installed at AMVIV, and I was/am loking for exactly the results you describe.

 

A big diff between the JCW tips and the Milltek tips is: Miltek tips turn brown, and JCW tips stay SHINY!!! w00t.

 

The JCW exhaust has always reminded me of an old B. Kliban cartoon showing two women at the beach admiring a scrawny guy who's walking away from them. One of them is saying, "Ted's boss of the beach since he got 'Big *****' (R)"

The image of the guy in his swim trunks walking away is not unlike the south view of a north-bound JCW.

 

Ouch!! :impatient

We'll see about that.

 

Invidia.

PM me to understand the reasons that I chose the Invidia, specifically instead of the Larini, which had been of significant interest to me at one point.

 

I have installed both Magnaflow and Miltek exhausts on my MCS's and I prefer the Miltek. It gives a great deep sound with out get to obnoxious.

 

PM me if you want to know why we did not bother to sell a Larini to AntiqueCarNut

 

Why not we forget about PM's and put everything on the table, and watch another internet thread burn like a hindu monkey god's tail. w00t.

BURN BABY BURN.

 

my friend has Milltek and the joint right before the y hangs pretty low and is visible from the rear (not all that eye pleasing). I prefer the jcw myself.

 

I have the complete Milltek system and love it. The tips have not turned brown like CamelPilot stated above. Fit is awesome and the sound is great.
