clubman dual exhaust - on MCS? If it works will the spare tire fit then?

Just wondering if anyone has tried to put a Clubman dual exhaust on a MCS. I'm hoping it would just be a different rear valence and a slightly shorted exhaust. Then if that works could I get a spare tire underneath like a regular Cooper? I never even looked under a Clubman yet so I don't know what would be involved.

The Clubman's spare is inside the car, under the level load floor. So yes.

I really like the Clubman exhaust....I am tinkering with doing something like it on our JCW. I have some great ideas. If I can make it work I will post pictures of the process.

uggg, dual exhaust on a inline 4 is just a waste. Why not use the regular cooper exhaust setup and rear bumper piece if you really want to go this route. That way you could stay sensible and not have extra material costs and weight. Contrary to what designers think dual exhaust on a inline 4 is not faster.

UGGG...its is not about increased HP...it was about looks. I think most of us kids know duel exhaust on our Mini's will not add HP The OP was refering to the nice look of the clubman exhaust on a non clubman...

My post wasn't about top performance. But I was looking for a high performance exhaust that also let me carry a spare. I agree it would be heavier though.
