Hello chaps,

I am hoping some of you can throw some photos of your exhausts on here. I am looking at a bit of a renovation on my current mini and the exhaust is one of the things I want to change but I have been out of touch with whats "Down with the kids" now days and I am sure things have changed since my 3" twin DTM center exit all them years ago!

I am looking for a side exit with an out rolled tip, I am hoping some one can share some photos of some with 2" and 3" pipes.

I know we could google it and I would have results pour out of my ears but I am hoping that I find something I like as a result of this thread and I can find from the owner where they purchased the exhaust, how they rate it and if they would recommend one.

I have been looking at the Fletcher systems with the lifetime warranty but i am yet to speak to anyone who owns one.

So if anyone could help I would be very gratefull.

Cheers

Here's my 2 1/4" exit RC40, purchased from Minispares. It's been perfect for the two years since I bought it, I still love the sound it makes :D

I've been considering pairing it with a minisport/maniflow LCB & link pipe. I was reading an article about how to chose the right manifold for your chosen power route, I'll have to have a re-read.

I have been looking at the playmini systems as well but have not seen them fitted to a car so can't say.

If only I had got one of the many I looked at when i was at SMD!

I do enjoy the RC40, one of the very few exhausts I have dealt with as it happens! Is that the 2"?

2.25" I believe, same as this one as far as I can tell.

Indeed they are, I know they don't exactly fit properly but I love the way it looks :lol:

Good enough for me! I have just got some 6J's and need to downsize the arches which have been covering my 7's. been considering the Grp2's or the Monte Carlos.

Choices!

There's mine, a playmini 3". Absolutely beautiful sound to it, car's currently in bits undergoing full resto and can't wait to hear it purr again. :)

I have tried a few exhausts over the last few years. IMO fletcher was by far the best made and a good sound.

I have to be honest all of these are quite appealing!

Does anyone have a fletcher exhaust fitted they wouldn't mind sharing some photos of?

For £175 odd I dont think I can argue, life time warranty as well.

Maniflow all the way. And in my opinion, side exit rolled tip is the ONLY way to go!
