Looking to get a performance cat-back exhaust within the next 6 months, also would look for an induction/performance filter.
Had a K&N in my Focus.
Which is recommended form my '08 Cooper?
Thanks

Playmini is the preferred exhaust but check out Miltek
If you're looking for a power increase with the intake then don't be surprised to hear there are no significant gains to be had, so, if you want a better sound then fair enough, or just replace the filter with a K & N drop in one
K & N or ITG are very good I have ITG in my jcw GP !!
New sig coming soon
If you want noise, go open filter.
If you want power (minimal), just replace the filter - not sure if a DaveF fits a Cooper?
Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
DaveF?
Usually I'd suggest K&N but ITG have been getting good reviews across most manufacturers - and I believe alot of racing mini's use ITG in their parts list - but to be fair, I don't know alot about car stuff, so this is just based on what I've read...
Just don't get one which sooks in hot air from the engine compartment - then you'll get lots of noise and no power gain, maybe even a loss. I put a 'cone' filter (Pipercross?) on my '01 COOPER years ago and ended up taking it off as it lost power and was far too loud! Stuck the original airbox in with a better filter and it ran like a dream! In my R56, I have an ITG filter in my JCW Airbox.
My COOP was stock apart from a Magnex cat-back. These days, Playmini is probably the best one for sounds, but Milltek are very good too.
