Mini Cooper S R53 gets a new Exhaust and sounds Awesome!

[@AUSSIEAMRAAM]

That blue and white is quite a great delft combination and sounds sublime

[@mrfochs]

If you are going to work on a MINI, I strongly suggest a set of ratcheting wrenches as there are a lot of places (like the top exhaust bolt) where you can only fit a wrench (not a socket) and being able to ratchet is priceless.

[@frax77]

100%!!! The recent wrap job required removal of the external door handles....wish I had a set for that job.....horrible design 😄

[@MM-cr7dq]

Awesome sound - well suited to the Cooper. Very nice upgrade that looks like it can be done at home with jacks/ramps. Thanks

[@ghostwrench2292]

That exhaust sounds really good! Good tone and not obnoxious loud.

[@Nerd1979]

Very naice again. Much better sound and look over the stock tips. Looking forward to the next vid. ( cars are so clean compared to Dutch cars with all the salt in the winter )

[@julianski09]

car looks really well maintained. almost brand new!

[@frax77]

It might look that way, but an 18 year old Mini certainly has some maintenance issues....a video for another day maybe 😄

[@Lookbusybuddy]

Id like an almond green wrap. With stainless wrap mirrors and white roof. Someday. Some how. 😅

[@richardbaxter9130]

Looks and sounds nice. Would sound epic with a Janspeed manifold and low cell sports cat. Nice video guys 👍

[@frax77]

Haha, maybe something I can look out down the track 👍

[@IamMagPie]

That MINI was clean underneath! I put the OEM JCW exhaust on one of my R53 MINIs, but the best sound is by far from my R53 with the Malian exhaust. Funny, because it is a lot cheaper than the JCW set...

[@superpapi]

That sounds sooooo goooooood!

[@scotty729100]

Sounds amazing and looks great with those larger tips

[@lizfriedrich9990]

Great video and - well - you made that look quite easy! Looks great too. Your Mum wants to know why you wear a white T-shirt for that kind of work?!

[@ThC_Fr]

I love the sound of this exhaust : low and not too loud ! I might order one. I might also be interested in a full combo but it says on their website that they are out ot stock. Do you know if they are still making them, even for a later order.

[@frax77]

I'm not sure, maybe shoot them a message. I've actually got the front half sitting on a shelf here waiting to be installed...just need some spare time lol

[@the_bencredible]

I know this is an old video, but we just picked up a 2006 Mini Cooper S. Been looking at this exhaust, but I’m interested their race version. I can’t find a sound clip of it to save my life. Every KZbin video is of the sport version 😔

[@frax77]

Not that it will help, but I have the headers at the shop ready to install 😀

[@the_bencredible]

@@frax77haha. Maybe that’ll be enough to make me copy your build. Can’t wait to hear how it sounds.

[@eurothrasher2823]

11 MOS later...do you still like the tone, how is it on the highway. Does it have the typical "Magnaflow" type of drone heard inside the car on the highway ?

[@frax77]

Still love the tone, no major drone. Have extractors to go on the car soon. Will update with a video when I do the install 👍

[@INNITR53]

​@@frax77very keen to hear it with the headers

[@frax77]

@@INNITR53 will get them fitted soon 🙏

[@phantomaray]

Hey, sounds good, where did you order this from, im in Perth also and looking to upgrade my exhaust, cheers,

[@frax77]

I ordered direct from Malian. Send them an email and tell them you saw my video, and they might give you a good deal. 👍

[@Trickydicky-si5gi]

Can I ask where you ordered it from? Thanks

[@frax77]

Direct from Malian mate. 👍 @malianexhausts Malianexhausts.com

[@petertaylor-u1l]

How did you get the system to perth,as i have tried to order and they keep telling me they dont send this system from warehouse.

[@frax77]

Email them directly [e-mail] and they should be able to send an online invoice via email. I think I had the same issue. Tell them you saw it on my channel 😁👍 @kagetradinglimited8410

[@TomIppolito]

Sorry but have a mini of that series, 04 supercharged and that exhaust is mild. Nice looking on a car show but not really delivering performance

[@frax77]

Well, it's a good thing I have the rest of the exhaust just delivered, ready for install 😄 Next video....

[@nickbourne3202]

These cars are a future classic. Anything after 2007 2nd gen. No one will want them. Rubbish cars....

[@lesgobrandon1563]

Nice video and good sound clip

[@nnickers3355]

Sounds great looking at doing the same. How is it at highway speeds, 6th gear 100-120km/h (70mph) drone/loud? Yours is product Mal-086, any experience with the race version Mal-070? Cheers.

[@frax77]

Thanks 👍 At highway speeds it settles down nicely with little to no drone. It really just wakes up in the higher rpm. Haven't tried the 070 sorry.

[@jeromecourreges534]

I installed the race version (MAL-070) on my cooper S but I regret it, the noise is too loud it has a lot of vibrations inside very unpleasant for daily use. for racing use the flow is probably better but useless to ride every day in my opinion.

[@rickykent4543]

I like this, not too noisy, but sounds nice.

[@JohnHughes-ip4jz]

​@@frax77 I know this is an old comment but this is all I needed to hear. Thank you! Just ordered it
