05 non s r52 cabrio exhaust help

Hey all, im new to the mini cooper community just picked up my 05 convertable mini and its stock exhaust is rusted up until the cat and needs replacing asap.
Was wondering what you guys recommend, i've been looking around and am having trouble finding exhausts that fit my mini.
I see that borla and magnaflow have options (I think?) for the non s mini convertible.
any help and/or opinions are appreciated!

Milltek has a great sound and very close to the JCW kit sound exhaust. Little more rasp on the Milltek. Plus it comes with the built in stainless hangers. No more rusty clamps or barrels to worry about.

Jet and Meteor tips , same sound just different tips. Free ship also.

On the convertible see the notes on the fitment for the additional bracing.

Milltek has lifetime warranty / free ship and has a high flow header option. So some things to think about.

Thanks
