    Hey guys have you seen this article?

    http://www.millteksport.com/media/images/press/28.pdf

    Looks amazing! Apprenetly the guys at Milltek got a standard cooper s and put this full system on it and it brought the cars power up to 202 bhp!!

    I called Checkpoint in aberdeen and they said that the full system would cost £894 and thats including fitting it.

    What you's think? WOW just imagine what you could do if you then changed the turbo!! MEGA POWER but prob no traction lol.

    The figures do look pretty good, until you see that standard R56's are being tested around the 192 to 195 range. It looks like MINI are underdeclaring the BHP on the cars that leave the factory.

    Nice looking exhaust mind you.

    But to honest, I'd rather go for this Alta cat back exhaust system from Lohen.

    That one sounds a bit agricultural.

    I would take all these figures with a large pinch of salt. A zost providing all that power seams far fetched to me

    Hmm, over 25bhp for an exhaust change, i'd have to doubt that claim until i was shown before and after dyno charts

    They never showed the before chart, probably for a very good reason. When we took the R56 S for a spin Jackie commented on how it seemed faster compared to the Brabus. I dismissed it as the Brabus was supposed to have a better power/weight, but if MINI have been under reporting the power now it makes sense.

    They wouldn't be the only manufacturer to do it, Mazda claim 0-60 in 7.9 for my car but 2 magazines have tested it to be sub 7 seconds. I don't know why they do it, but it makes you wonder what power output the new JCW has doesn't it?

    25BHP from just an exhaust change sounds a bit funny.
