Hi, Has anyone had any experience fitting a pre manufactured exhaust system kit? Do they generally fit well or am I better of taking my mini to an exhaust specialist & having one custom made and fit? Thanks Dave |

I've fitted 2 exhaust systems to both of my cars. First car was a single box RC40 with new maniflow 3-1 extractors. All fitted together and bolted up very well. I am very happy with this setup and would recommend it. Second car I fitted a twin box RC40 to a set of LCB extractors I already had. Not so easy job trying to get the old extractors to mate up to the new exhaust. I ended up having to get and weld up an exhaust flange gasket to make the join work. Not a fun job welding up the flange gasket to the extractors on the car. |

Just out of interest did you prefer the single or twin box? |

Single box on the 998. Twin box on the 1275. Prefer the single box any day. |

Only trouble I've ever had is fitting local garage bent pipes...those ones often don't quite fit... |

Thanks everyone for the info. James how noisy is the system you fitted? I want a nice note but not too noisy in the cabin. I would be fitting it to a 1098. |

We fitted a Maniflow med bore LCB an an RC40 twin box to Laingy's 1377 van. The engine pipe was a Cooper to RC40 one, so we had to cut the swaged end & bend off the front, and the 30deg bend off the back. Fitted together fine then, but the RC40 tailpipe wasn't long enough to reach the van's longer rear. So I welded a bit of polished S/S pipe to it. |

I fitted this one to my 998. It was about $420 delivered a couple of months ago (although the exchange rate has changed since then). The twin box exhaust is a bit quiet in my opinion. It fitted great, except that the pipe was arcing onto the floor starter button! Just needed a little massaging to get it right. http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... STN17.aspx |

I have a standard RC40 exhaust and LCB extractors on my clubby. The exhaust is great, but I wouldn't recommend LCBs for a small bore (at least, not the ones I have). The y-piece is the lowest point of the body, and it bangs on everything. |

I wouldn't say it's overly loud at all in the cabin. Under acceleration it has a nice subtle rasp out the back. Maniflow make great quality products |
