I have a 2002 Mini R50 being that my birthday is the 17th and christmas is the 25th im going to have mucho money to get car parts. I want to run the r53 exhaust. I want to go borla or maybe megan racing. Can anyone give me any help on how to hang the exhaust and what all im going to need to buy? Thanks

 

I imagine you'll need an R53 bumper, to start.

Why not just get a Borla for the R50?

 

Its not cost effective or a good idea. You would need the exhaust, bumper cover, remove your spare tire, and make mounts for it.
After all that the exhaust would be heavier so you would be adding weight to your car, and more piping so I don't think it's going to sound like an S either.

Just go with a proper R50 exhaust and save your money for other mods.

 

Okay so if its too much hassle to run the duals on an r50 i will save myself the headache. But i have been looking for an exhaust and should i go cat back or headers back? either way i want to use a cat so i dont lose back pressure and lose performance. Any ideas on what i should be looking for? thanks

 

Start with just a cat back, this Megan racing is the most popular and cost effective for the R50.

If your looking for power, the intake is better money spent.
