All I'm after is a new back box. I'm understanding that they can cut the existing pipe and weld the new box onto it as the Mini exhaust is in one long stretch all the way from the Cat. That's why the actual Mini exhausts are so expensive, coz you have to buy the whole length. Now I've been looking around and the Scorpion Imola seems to be ok, in my price range (£200 tops). I'm not after anything performance enhancing, and as long as it's as loud as the stock mini exhaust I'm fine. Does the Imola sound nicer than the stock one? Are there any other options for back box's only? Any help would be great, I'm c*^p with decisions!  Thanks, James. :p Jack the Black Cooper!!  | ||

I've not come across any with just the box yet. Scorpion make a lot of motorbike exhausts and are usually a little louder than standard. I've not heard one on a MINI yet. One i've been looking at is the Blueflame exhaust. Again its another motorbike exhaust manufacturer but they both have a good reputation. You might be able to find a video on youtube for the exhaust on a MINI. That should give you some idea of the noise. | ||

It's just the back box as far as I know, am going to ring them though. Either way it's about £190!! http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=SCOSVWB001 I have pictures of it on another site if you want to see. :p Jack the Black Cooper!! | ||
