It wont be as loud as your DTM but will still sound nice, Maniflow build quality is awesome! And for performance they are awesome too, also if you have the money for stainless why not, it will last a lot longer

Maniflow sound nice (not too loud but with a nice deep burble) and are well made, and it's cheaper to buy direct from Maniflow!

Stainless depends how long you're keeping the car, but the standard steel ones last well (I had one on a previous Mini for around 3 years before I sold it and the exhaust was still good)

ive been on their site and read that there are copies around ??
am i right guessing that the systems minisport are selling arent copies

I always fit Maniflow, not too loud but a nice sound

Maniflow all the way here too. 1.75 inch is good, 2 is most likely overkill anyways. going from 2in to 1.75in may have an effect on performance though, you would have to ask an expert though. Bernoulli is beyond me.

I have a 2" playmini and I havn't noticed a drop or change in performance.

I was browsing through the classifieds yesterday, I think it may interest you: LINK

To get the best performance from an exhaust the pipe diameter needs to be a similar diameter all the way through INCLUDING the back box, this is why the DTM is a power sapper, as the exhaust gas gets to the end pipe it slows down as it has to go through 2 large tail pipes increasing the back pressure and not allowing the exhaust gas to flow freely, you need to keep a constant exhaust gas velocity, this is why bigger is not always better, especially on a mini. Of course if you have a massively powerful engine the exhaust size will need to increase but on a standard or even slightly modified 998 and even 1275 1.75" is probably best.

Has anyone on here fitted the RCM pipe from Maniflow? I heard good things about it.

[l_jonez]

i got a maniflow and really cant fault it. i got mine from min-its and they where cheaper than maniflow

[The_Mistro]

got mine from min-its too! can not fault it, i love the sound, i love the look! it made a noticable difference to my standard engine through the mid rev range!

i have the twin box version of the one you are looking at!

min its definately are the place to buy maniflow. i bought mine from there too. if you want something a tad quieter then go for a twin box system.

Mine is still loud as hell with the twin box setup, too. Within MOT limits here, though, which is all that counts.
