If you do want to replace it with a proper standard MPi system, your best bet is a second hand one on Ebay.
This is a standard MPi exhaust...
This is the peashooter exhaust mine came with...

I think that only came with the Sportspack MPis, MM. Non Sportspacks came with the peashooter type, I fink.
If someone wants one of the chrome tail pipe trims for the standard sportspack exhaust, I have one sitting in my cellar looking for a home......

As I said above, I think the peashooter exhaust is from the SPi models as garages are too cheap to order in a MPi exhaust when replacing an exhaust system.

I believe that all MPi Minis came with those exhaust systems as there were no poverty spec MPi Minis, only the Cooper, Cooper Sport, Mini 40 etc.

the peashooter is whats listed for mpi's in the big pile of parts books i have at work. the other style is available, but nobody keeps them in stock and theyre not cheap.

I was under there recently and noticed that the rear box was rotting away from the outside. when I get some time I am going to fabricate a sheet metal cover to go over the existing one if it ever completely fails since I cant imagine how difficult it would be to acquire over here in the states.
bin the standard mild steel one, and fit a stainless steel one instead, looks nicer, lasts ages etc. go for something along the lines of an RC40 style if you want it to look standard and sound fairly quiet. will make a slight difference to the performance too.
