in 2nd i can do 50mph and 3rd 80!!!

if you read this tipcat you were right.
its just a shame it took 3 weeks to sort and get fitted.

yeah too right. i wish my manifold still blew. i miss the noise. i don't miss my power loss or bleeding ears and not being able to hear the stereo but i still miss the noise. thats the brucey with an exhaust like yours, sounds good you can still hear yourself think and you get extra power.
what exhaust did you have?
Get an induction kit!!!!! i have just bought one, and if you like the nice roar it'll be good for the job!!
would do mate but the insurance might go up a bit (parents are still paying)
so what exhaust did you get fitted the minicooperman? and what engine do you have?
A Stainless Steel RC40 with link pipe to fit to standard manifold

huh weird... when i got my new exhaust i wasn't looking to rev the engine to death... i was looking for the oppositegot it back, went out driving with mates and its lush!!!
i can now do 35mph in 1st gear before i could manage about 30
in 2nd i can do 50mph and 3rd 80!!!
it sounds sweet!!!!

i put an hif44 with alloy intake and LCB Headers and twin box mild steel rc40 on mine and all i noticed is now I can go from 1st to second at about 5mph second to third at about 20 and 3rd to 4th at about 30. But I do love the way it sounds... so quiet.... and if only I could get a little more bass out of it I would be happy.... but it sounds fine right now and I'm done messing with it. Just got the vaccuum leak fixed... now we'll have to see if an exhaust leak forms.
oh and congrats on your new system.

I never thought that just sticking £200 for some shiny bits would make such a difference, and it was definately worth it!!!!!
MCM did you tell your insurance company about your stage 1 kit???
