Hey everyone, I'm always roaming youtube trying to find the best sounding exhaust system to put on my Mini, right now I've been wanting a 3" Fletcher exhaust as this video really caught my liking -



Looking for a side exhaust, not a big fan of center exit exhausts.

Thanks guys,

- Alex

I will be recording mine when I have it installed,


it will be loud, I am using LCB, through middle silencer to a stubby motorbike rear can, will be side exit but mounted on the rear valance under the bumper if that makes sense :P

Mines only a Maniflow 1 3/4" side exit, but my god does it make a nice sound! :D (And it's a decent size for my 998)

Mine is a fletcher 3" on a standard 1275cc. Bear in mind my ignition timing is away with the fairies and I filmed this on my iPhone. I'll get a better vid on the weekend.

Thought I'd toss in my 2pence and say that my '92 998 Mayfair has a full Playmini 3" bore system that runs right up to a standard manifold. It sounds icredible, even on the completely untuned engine. You can hear it through the floor as it reverberated all the way along the pipe, never heard anything more spine tingling, particularly when revving my way through the tyne tunnel(s)

I'd get a video of it but the car's currently in bits undergoing a VERY expensive restoration. I'll be posting a full resto section up so I'll try to remember to get an exhaust video for you too!

Does the 998 engine sound any different to the 1275 engine? I'm looking for like a deep sort of exhaust that sticks with a deep sound throughout the revs, not really loud although I want something that will make people notice my Mini and think of what such good cars they were.

Sorry, to re-quote.

This has been discovered not to be a fletcher.

Its a Janspeed Manifold (we think) and down pipe and probably the rest is as well.

Well I've got a 1310 Cooper RSP too and they do sound very, very different, however I think it's more down to the carb(s) size, manifold, cylinder head and of course the rest of the exhaust system.

I'm sure someone else would be able to offer up a better explanation than myself though. haha.
