Hi All
does any one know of any companies making bespoke exhausts for the chim as i want something slightly different from the norm, i already have stainless decatted manifolds and y piece and want a removable cat after the y piece and silenced tail pipes like the tuscan

I used Torqueflow for my G33, and they did an excellent job. Trouble is they are in Birmingham which is a bit far for you. There are some vids on Youtube of Torqueflow jobs, including my car I think.does any one know of any companies making bespoke exhausts for the chim as i want something slightly different from the norm, i already have stainless decatted manifolds and y piece and want a removable cat after the y piece and silenced tail pipes like the tuscan

whats wrong with the act sports exhaust
Probably nothing but I wanted something bespoke and specifically not “sports” The system originally on the car had been modified to be a “sports one “ which in my opinion is a bit “max power” also the mod fairly soon fell apart. Reverting to a standard system picked up on here released a bit more power, presumably by restoring the original level of back pressure. I now however have a bespoke 304 stainless system that splits at the box so it can be dropped without removing the anti roll bar and is designed to improve the under car air flow and replicate the origonal back pressure. I ended up with what appears to be a good system to my spec and noise level for less that the ACT one.

I WAS GOING FOR THE ACT SPORTS EXHAUST , DOES IT NOT HAVE THE SAME BACK PRESSURE ?
Don’t know and definitely not an expert. Do however know that my car was consistently quicker in a straight line with the standard system compared to one that had been sleeved to make it LOUDER, even before it fell apart As the sleeved one simply had pipes linking the in and out holes on the box and the original one didn’t I have to assume the original one offered more back pressure. The system I have now uses slightly offset pipes to offer good gas flow and a sensible reduction in noise.An expert should be along soon to discuss.
The ACT sports system is not a cut and shut "Sports Conversion". It is a specifically made Cherry Bomb system with actual cherry bomb style silencers built into it. So it is not as lound as a sleeved system nor as harsh sounding.
The car becomes deeper and more throaty. You'll get a increase in volume if you de cat.
IIRC the back pressure is the same as the standard system.
The quality of the SS Cherry Bomb System is excellent. I know a number of people who have it and are very happy with the sound and volume.
Maniflow have a good name in the Mini scene and have been going for years.

Sorry i still dont see how in an engine that struggles to breath having any back pressure can be a good thing, thats why bigger valved gas flowed heads improve performance, once the fuel is burnt all the energy is released,so on the exhaust stroke you dont want pressure stopping burnt gasses from coming out and allowing the chamber filling will cooler fresh air ready for the next combustion stroke
p.s its also beyond me how a sleeved centre box can make any difference to performance as the only difference is no noise reducing perforated pipes
p.p.s steve i do like your idea of a split exhaust without the need to drop the arb, good call
