Don't know,... But they have copied a single sentence to describe the entire of their range for the classic mini. Which focuses on Lots of Noise rather than performance gains and getting the important pipe diameters, 1.75 etc...

I'd say go for a single box 2" system if you're going to get one from them,... I'd go for the twin box personally,.. I like my mini's quite and rumbly.

They also do an LCB,.. I'd be interested to see one.

personally i'd stick to exhausts from the likes of Maniflow and Playmini - they are tried and tested on thousands of minis, i only know of one car fitted with an ashley exhaust (a fiesta XR2i) and it was a pig to fit apparently.

Not quite a mini, but it was an A series!!

I fitted one to a MG Midget a number of years ago, it took a bit/lot of fettling but did seem made out of good quality steel.

It also sounded ACE!!

I would buy one again, it was 1/2 price of peco/janspeed etc.

i had the ashley 3" tip centre exit single box and the LCB from them on my first mini and it was great, sounded wicked aswell. didn't have any fitting issues with it either.

Never had one on a mini, but the ford boys rave about them, especially the lads with mk1/2 escorts. Would love to hear what one sounds like on a mini, because they sound awsome on a mk2 escort.

best to go to the factory in Walsall if u want a deal with them.. been in there a couple of times with my brother but never had one for the mini.. brothers was on a nova and it was pretty decent.. Shaun ask Nath, conway or Victim (ad) on WMC because they have all got/had speedsteel exhaust's from Tipton which are the dogs!!
