Our 55 plate Cooper is getting close to needing a new exhaust back box and (hanging cage), would have liked a Peco but been told they are out of business !! Anyone got any suggestions - just go with the BMW mini replacement or something a little sportier without being intrusive as better half drives it more than me ??

Cheers in advance.

I'd go OEM if its just the back box, but if from cat-back you could check out playmini exhausts. Got one fitted to mine and it was very well made and sounded awsome without being too loud, lots of pops and crackles on overun too.

Guess it comes down to personal taste but alot of motorway driving might get annoying with a stainless.

Exhaust is 1 piece from cat back. Miltek are top quality and not too loud, if you can get one for a MINI.

Both the boxes on my R53 needed replacing this time last year. I was quoted £300 a box from a local indie. In the end I got a full cat-back Milltek system for less than the replacement back boxes.
