Its amazing what a quality exhaust will do for a 1275 Cooper. I ordered a stainless steel twin DTM RC40 ( millennium addition ) with polished pipes and picked it up from the post office at 11:00 Am yesterday. Could not find a Mini shop to fit it till Monday and there's no way I could see it sitting there all week/end so hit parramatta rd to see if any shop would fit it. I dropped by Midas who loved the car gave me a quote of $80 cash to fit. It took them about an hour and a quarter to fit and they did a fantastic job for that. Highly recommend them - In fact the guy told me his dad used to race Cooper at bathurst. I got them to make a connecter pipe from the cat back until I fit the LCB.

What a difference it makes, nice power increase and fab sound. My little story for the day. :) Now i am super happy with my Cooper.

You do ! an $80 bucks seems fair considering I told them exactly what I wanted and they did it even better :D

Glad to hear it arrived safe and fast, I am always careful when packing the DTM's (and anything else we send) as Australia post sometimes just don't care!

Wait to you fit the LCB's 8) . You will notice a noticeable difference in the mid range. RC40 sounds heaps better too.
