Im thinking of getting a big exhaust (like they put on their corsas, novas, astras, etc) for my mini. Would it be too big and catch on the ground if I got like a 4" tip one? a bit like the one in this link clicky or item number 140152418169 on ebay.

Even if I cut the valance would it fit?

anyone done this before??

Cheers

[MGMT]

Lol, just a thought!

[MGMT]

how would it 'feck' up the performance tho?!

[sweetser]

because there would be no back pressure or some thing like that

if you want something bigg then just go for a rc40 2.5 inch they are plenty big enough. and they sound good too:D

If you want a decent exhaust get one like minis se7ens have, a decent one, dont be a Knob and get a banana nova "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" one.

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

banana, im sure i didnt put that?

As said above you will loose performance in a normally aspirated car with a big exhaust, it's a different story if it's turbo'd.

Here are a couple of pics of my cars with bigish exhausts..

Thats a 4" tailpipe

Thats a 3.5" tailpipe

As above mate, i'd get an rc40 if i was you, that bake beans tin wouldn't really do a mini any justice

yeh i get what your sayin - currently I have the twin DTM mini back box. but whats the rc40, how much does it cost and whats good about it?
cheers

[captainjack15]

Stick with the twin DTM

Non bias opinion obviously

[Nickh_16]

the rc40's are specificly designed for the minis to give more power, they sound good aswell, maniflow are another make which do performance exhausts for minis and give a lovely note aswell
