Well, the net.opinion for street legal Mini performance exhaust systems
seems to be the RC-40. David Vizard recommends this exhaust system along
with the long center branch (LCB) headers. Our Cooper S is thankfully
already equipped with the LCB header. According to most respondants either
Seven Enterprises, Mini City or Mini Mania should have the RC-40 in stock.
To answer a few questions:
- The mini is a street car, no trailers here!
- The car is in DSP (it's been lowered, has mini fins, weber, etc...)
- I'm sure the car is competetive, it's the drivers that need work.
- I've never seen another Cooper S in DSP at the NCSCC Autocrosses
that I've attended. This doesn't mean that they don't exist.
Other exhaust systems that were mentioned include:
Falcon stainless steel system
Janspeed or Maniflow
Sonic Turbo
Supertrapp
Flowmaster
