I just purchased an 2002 Mini Cooper S and the guy who I bought it from completly straight piped it and as it is kind of cool for a little while (does have a low growl to it!!) it gets kind of annoying on the freeway as my work takes almost 30mins to get to and hearing that all the way down is really annoying. So I am on a really tight budget for now as there are other little things I need so I was seeing if anyone has installed either of these cheap ebay exhuasts on their mini.

Thanks for the help

I've never heard many good things about the eBay exhaust. Usually the sound or the fitment irritates the new owner.

Which state do you live in? I have a factory catback from my '05 MCS with 1,400 miles on it. I could not wait to get the Milltek on back in Jan-2005.

 

I live in Wisconsin so if you are in surrounding states or area that might work would also depend on how much youd want for it.
Thanks though!!

 

Are there any exhuast you guys can recommend for under $300. I need to order it soon and just need something til I can fix the other things on my mini then ill save for a JCW system or something
THANKS

 

I got one of the ebay exhausts and I love it, mine has flanges in front of the battery box if I could find another one I would buy one for my JCW, all the ones I see now are slip

there's a big thread about them with sound cllips

 

ok thanks ya there are some for 200 bucks with free shipping and hoping they would get me by for a few months, Thanks Ill try and find the thread or would you know a link

 

I'm in Milwaukee and have a stock exhaust I'd sell you for 50$. Let me know if you want it.

 

hangars are different on pre & post facelift, 05-06 has one side pointing a different direction on the cans

 

My exhaust is off of a 2003 so it would be the same as OP.

 

ya that would be great as long as it will work cause i have the cooper s and i think the base model exhuast is different but if that is what you have id take it I am in Wausau so not to far away I could probably come some time this week in the morning if you want the Privite message me I work in the afternoons and this weekend friday-sunday will be in oklahoma but let me know if you can mornings or ill just have to wait til next week

Thanks so much!!

 

This is probably about as close are you are going to get for a quality exhaust.....that's close to $300.

The exhaust is on and it's so nice no more freeway drone!!!
A before and after video is to come soon!!!!

 

Excellent news!

And pics too!

 

Real quick Video of the exhaust differences its not very good and dont know how to change the video in youtube to take up the full screen but here you guys go.

This is a picture of the quite literal straight pipe

 

Wow thats a pretty crude looking exhaust.

For around a little over$ 500 you could do a JCW rear exhaust conversion. The hangers will need bent as it the post 1/2004 version.
