My current steed is a 2021 (July) F56 Cooper S which I believe is an LCI2. I would like to give it a little more character by changing the soundtrack. I don't want excessive drone. I don't want management lights, I don't want silly pops and bangs. My friendly dealer will honour warranties with a sympathetic modification. My assumption is I need to look at GPF back options. There doesn't appear to be many decent videos on you tube with available options.

Anybody out there have anything fitted and able to share experiences on what they think of it please?

I have a 2019 Cooper S, so LCI. I recently visited Mod A Mini/Torque Monkey in Chelmsford and had them fit a GPF back Scorpion non-resonated system. I was a little hesitant about it being non-resonated as a few of my previous cars had straight trough systems that would set off car alarms and being more grown-up I didn't want to be too anti-social.

Thankfully the Scorpion system has turned out to be very reasonable in sound, no pops and bangs and not overly loud, even at motorway speeds. It doesn't wake the neighbours when I start it early in the morning too, which is a plus. I think I paid roughly £650 for the system (including fitting).

Remus do a few switchable GPF back exhausts for the LCI2 https://remus-exhaust.com/mini/f56-3-door-hatch/jo...

Went for a Cobra Sport GPF back system in the end from Lohen. Being fitted in a couple of weeks, along with some Audison replacement front speakers. So hopefully I will a slightly better sound track one way or another.

Starting with the front speakers only. If however they don't get me where I want to be I will get them to add more elements further down the road.

I was quite disappointed with the sound from their system, I've listened to 4 audison systems in minis now and theirs was the least best. It's fairly simple to install the kit yourself if you want to save some money.
