i have a mini sport LCB exhaust manifold which i fitted in 1987, and it only covered a couple of hundred miles before going into retirement. there is still silver paint on the manifold so its being refitted.
any recommendations for a replacement exhaust system? crimped box systems are very dear by comparison. any experience of the RC40 system.....?
as usual, your highly valued and experienced opinions are both welcome and appreciated. many thanks.

Re: cooper s exhausts
With a couple of exceptions, I have never used anything but RC40's & have always been pleased with both the quality & price. Maniflow are good, but can be very noisy by comparison.

Re: cooper s exhausts
just spoke to maniflow and the chap reckoned that my LCB manifold is likely to be a Janspeed one, which does ring a bell........ I have the mini sport receipt from 1987 but it doesn't list the make.
so...... RC40 or maniflow........
i fancy a bit of a roar..........

Re: cooper s exhausts
Single box rc40 for me. Mostly sensible with a bit of bite when you get going
I've got a 69 Mini with a 1046, Cooper Head and a four on the floor.
