    Best mod on an 'S' imo

    Gives oomph to a Cooper but brings an 'S' alive with an awesome sound

    I've got the full Playmini system in my Coop that was once fitted to the Elfmeisters (rather special) R53 & for those of us who have been around for a bit it was unquestionably THE best soundtrack from any NMS MINI

    You will lose power with a decat; good for noise, not for bhp


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Cheers Crombers, but my 'old' Manifold def DOES have an integral Cat (ie part of the manifold as opposed to the removable types), albeit a freer-flowing 'Sport' one

    2008 R56 COOPER S, Pepper White, Black Roof, 'John Cooper' Signature Side and Bonnet Stripes, JCW 'Stage 1' Tuning Kit, Forge Intercooler, Milltek Downpipe & Sports Cat, ALTA Induction, Chris Knox/DNA Remap, JCW/Brembo Brakes, Limited Slip Diff, JCW Suspension and Front Strut Brace, 17" Crown Spokes with Non-Runflat 205/45x17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, JCW/Recaro leather Seats, JCW Sideskirts, Chili Pack, Front Spotlights. Still got my old Hendrix Badge blu-tacked to the dash!

    Get a Miltek full system + de cat pipe, was an issue with the manifold breaking, but, sure the weld is now reinforced

    Point taken, I obviously still have the very same fitted to this day. I was wrongly focusing on the manifold side of this subject matter

    Still sounded the bo!!ocks mind
