Will After market SS R53 Exhaust fit R52 Convertible S

[keirangrogan]

Standard Exhaust for R53 Cooper S Exhaust Fits R52 Convertible.

However when searching for a SS Replacement for an R52, most Adverts stateR50 / R53 Only.

I have an experienced mechanic fitting who will not be afraid to cut and shut if it is only a simple mod, bracket position for example.

Don't quote me but I think there is some bracing on the R52 that limits aftermarket exhaust selection. Might be best to give the supplier a ring to check...

There was an article about that in Modern MINI magazine a few months ago

Doable but not straight forward though

Apologies for the delay.

I've been too busy enjoying the "Rice Krispies" Exhaust, sound absolutely fabulous but also understated with its Snap Crackle and occasional Pop on the overrun.

My Mechanic only charged £60 Fitting as it was straight forward-ish apparently.

I fitted one of these :-

But shop around, I managed to get mine for £280 on EBay.
