Hi all

VFF is running a 1293 engine but is currently without an exhaust!! Which system would be the best in terms of sound and performance??

Cheers. Tim.

I've always been a fan of the Maniflow manifold and a twin box RC40. None of the leaks you get with an LCB and a pleasant, not too abrasive note

Cheers Al

Im after that nice 'rasp' note but like you say, not too harsh!

'With middle age, comes the middle box in yer RC40'

Never thought id agree with 'when its too loud your'e too old!!'

Middle age!?!

Tim, you seem to have overlooked the "cherry bomb" back box and peco's range of 3-5" back boxes! Hahaha! Go for the maniflow manifold and rc40..

Hi Tim, have you considered the classic 2 " straight through scaffold pipe, lifted from any local building site??? I am in the Maniflow and single box RC 40 (stainless) gang and it soundls lovely but is a bit wearing after a while. Twin box RC40 gets my vote. Cheers. Mark

Hi Tim,

Maniflow LCB and twin box RC40....too quiet on my S replica so I changed to single box.....sounds great. My 998 Cooper with its single box RC40 sounded better than the S to start with and I couldn't have that

I must be bucking the trend of middle age equals twin box RC40 in that case.

I remember when it was all trees round here.......

Worryingly, a collegue in her mid 50's said to me the other day "I want to be like you when I grow up". I'm 40 next year.



(The clubmans racer will however be VERY loud. Purely to alert other road users you understand m'lud)

Safety first Al!

Fast and loud and why not!

I think for now i will go for the Maniflow down pipe and single box RC40.

...100% agree.. Maniflow products are jus about the best quality and design..i wouldnt use anything diff having had cheaper systems in the past..use in conj with a thermotec wrap for the manifold .... foxy52

I wouldn't use anything but a maniflow manifold and either a maniflow system or a rc40

all the above has been properly designed to suit the application and is of a proven quality (bar the manifold on my gtm, which was made too long )

all the massive bore el cheapo stuff just takes ages to fit, doesn't fit and sounds terrible

I don't think there is a finer sound than a single box RC40 on a mini, whatever the engine size

slightly different here

maniflow freeflow cooper manifold and sing box rc40

gives a slightly different , more pulsey note

Hi Tim,

You may try the new Maniflow made Cooper S crimped box exhaust, and let us know how it looks and sounds!

Haven't used anything but Maniflow manifolds (Usually LCB) & Mini Spares RC40 (usually single box) for getting on for 30 years, don't imagine I'll change now.
