Hi, im getting a RC40 exhaust system from mini spares today (saturday 15th) but was wondering what your thoughts are

Should i get a side exit or centre exit exhaust?

Im thinkin the centre exit may scrape wen going over speed bumps?

Thanks

Centre exit doesn't scrape over bumps..But that also depends how low your mini is in the first place. Are you going for a twin box, or a straight through?
I have just purchased a whole new RC40 system with a manifold manifold. I went for the side exit, 2.25 inch rolled tip (millenium edition) And I am very pleased with the results. Looks brilliant, And sounds equally as amazing.
In my opinion, I would go for a side exit. I have also heard sie exit gives a better balanced air flow? Someone may need to confirm that.

Hope this helps.
