ive got a 998 and its got a standard system with a boxter back box, personal ive never heard anything so sweet on a mini, it has a nice gurgle but its very throaty when it revs, its not chavishly loud and it looks the nuts aswell, i know huddersfield mini spares sell them. can upload pictures if you want

I have a 998 mini with standard manifold and same diameter standard pipe straight through to a Sportex DTM exhaust, and sounds fantastic. Sounds a bit different (higher pitched) to the really deep exhausts some minis have.

I have an exhaust similar to that without the cherry bomb on my 1000 a mini play 2.5" twin exit stainless jobby similar idea really. It is far far too loud to be honest good at first but then becomes annoying after a few mile the main issue is the amount of power it saps you loose all your back pressure or waht ever it called so naff all bottom end power and even on my 1000 loosing an easy 5/10bhp over a proper performance exhaust. I am swapping for a single exit maniflow 1.75" still gives a nice throaty rasp more so than the twin manfilow option whilst being a proper performance exhaust :thumbsup:



Hi please can you tell me what 2 stoke engine you are running, as you said Quote "you loose all your Back Pressure" now from what I can remember 4 stoke engines don't need or like back pressure, as back pressure will cause the cyclinders to fill up with burnt gas and not fresh mixture from the inlet side. What you need is a good tuned exhaust

Correct, you want a freeflowing system but that doesn't mean you have to slap on a 5" system, the optimum size is 1 3/4" this size gives the system good syphoning properties, you want to system to pull the exhaust out of the cylinders.
