    Hi guys another question :clown:

    The exhuast currently on the mini is REALLY loud and i would like to know another exhaust that has more of a dull note. I don't want to put a standard exhaust back on but a don't want a sore head all the time either :(8):clown::I

    Ohh the mini has a k&n filter too and im unsure what make the present exhaust is!?!

    Ideas and suggestions would be appreciated

    Have a look and see how many silencers you have. If you just have one at the back then that is a "straight through" exhaust and will be noiser. Quick cure for this is to buy the middle pipe which has another silencer and will solve your problem and should be fairly chaep to do.

    Hope this helps, Keep us posted

    Hello, been yapping to Ewan on msn and he has suggested PlayMini sytem which is a twin centre exit small bore set up that should be quiter but still sound good.

    If my memory serves my right there is only one silencer 8)

    the playmini is one of the loudest exhausts available for the mini!!
    I would suggest an RC40 for a nice rich classic sound.
    DSN classics are a good supplier
    The small bore one ain't so loud!
    Think Baz is really after a twin exit centre exhaust, which will always be louder anyway, but I did suggest the RC40

    I've got a single box RC40 on my Rio and it sounds great but not too loud - cannot hear it when driving as the engine & gearbox make more noise
