Got another vid to upload although soumd still isent great off my phone. Ill out it up anways but it does sound alright unlike it does in the video.

If you want to keep the sound, but have it louder. Buy a new 'standard' stainless system. Bolts straight onto the standard manifold, and will certainly be louder than the sooted-up system on at the moment. A new one will still quieten down with time as it gets more and more sooty inside.

Hi

Are the standard bore stainless steel exhaust that much louder? I was going to get big bore, but after reading several posts on similar subjects, a standard 948cc doesn't fair we'll with one on? My car is standard and may look into another head when mine fails! I do nearly 50 miles a day, half of which is on motorway so I expect the lead that's lubricating my valves will soon be burned away!

If it's a 948 you need an unleaded head (cam4810 I think) from a 998 Mini......often pretty well given away (I have in the past) - check ebay. OR - go for the 12G940 upgrade.

12G940 upgrade is what I want to go for. Will I have to do anything to it, or will it go straight on? You mentioned somewhere about fitting a 1098 camshaft too.

Iv just bought a cherry bomb, £37 delivered should be here on monday so ill let you know how i get on.

Hi

My car is booked in at powerflow exhausts, having a full stainless system from manifold. It will be 1.5" from manifold to a box in original position, then1.75" to the rear axle, then 2" to the tail pipe with a rolled edge finish.
