Drivetrain MINI Cooper S exhaust!
Guys, I know this subject has probably been discussed ad nauseum in past threads but I just dont have the time to dig and dig. Please be patient and help me out. I'm considering a cat back exhaust for my Cooper S. I have added the Alta intake and MTH remapping both of which I'm very happy with. Exhause seems the next step. What does everyone recommend or NOT recommend? I want extra sound and HP but not a Mini logging truck. Thanks all! D
Miltek - On the lower end of the noise department, never heard it with a header, sounded fine without it though

One-Ball - Cheapest, most shops will do this for $60-$100. Sounds very similar to the stock exhaust, but slightly deeper. If your exhaust pops a lot now, it will pop even more after, and IMO the pops sound like a jar of BB's, but some people like it.
Invidia w/OBX Header and Stock Cat - This is what I run. It's loud at WOT, Very tame at lower RPM's/cruise. VERY slight drone (Only appearent if you drive at 75+).
Magnaflow - Pretty damn loud!
Alta 2.5" - Slightly louder than Miltek, not by much though
Alta 3.0" - Similar in volume to the Magnaflow, I think it sounds better though.
Borla Sport - Similar to the Miltek
Borla Race - Pretty loud! Close to Magnaflow.
Listening to clips helps, really you have to hear it in person though. Head to a local club meet, people are bound to have exhausts

I see you got the Miltek, I don't think you'll be disappointed
I was planning on getting a Miltek but now this thread has me wanting a Borla Race, i want good sound, i want to be noticed, i had a '89 mustang GT with a race header and flowmasters and i loved that everyone could hear me coming a mile down the road. I want something louder than stock but i think the magnaflow will be too loud.
