Magnaflow or muffler delete - non s - second gen only - justacooper

I have a 2011 Mini Clubman LCI

I have been researching whether to do a muffler delete or a Magnaflow exhaust. I have been through tons of videos on youtube, mostly of idiots revving the darn things rather than driving them. I want to hear one driving with either under normal conditions but can't find any. So I am asking the general Mini population, if any of you have a Magnaflow on your non-S R55 through R59 or a muffler delete post on here and share. Thanks.

I am there with ya. The wife's 2013 R57 Justa needs more sound. The stock exhaust is just too quiet. Hoping someone has an answer, with a vid/sound.

Muffler delete is a good way.
Take care with resonator delete because there is tons of drone.
If you remove OEM resonator you will replace it with another one some weeks later (believe me)

I did the muffler and resonator delete to a downturn. All piping is catback 2.25" thin walled stainless steel. I also have a v band at the down turn to put back the factory muffler. With the downturn, the thing pops and cackles and it's awesome! With the factory muffler back on, it sounds a little louder in the cabin but not as loud as say an aftermarket muffler. You can hear it accelerate better now.
