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.
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 )
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...
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.
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
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 ?
Email them directly malianexhausts@gmail.com 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
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 CZcams video is of the sport version 😔
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.
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.

100%!!! The recent wrap job required removal of the external door handles....wish I had a set for that job.....horrible design 😄
That blue and white is quite a great delft combination and sounds sublime
Awesome sound - well suited to the Cooper. Very nice upgrade that looks like it can be done at home with jacks/ramps. Thanks
That exhaust sounds really good! Good tone and not obnoxious loud.

Sounds amazing and looks great with those larger tips
car looks really well maintained. almost brand new!
It might look that way, but an 18 year old Mini certainly has some maintenance issues....a video for another day maybe 😄
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?!
Id like an almond green wrap. With stainless wrap mirrors and white roof. Someday. Some how. 😅
Looks and sounds nice. Would sound epic with a Janspeed manifold and low cell sports cat. Nice video guys 👍
Haha, maybe something I can look out down the track 👍

Hey, sounds good, where did you order this from, im in Perth also and looking to upgrade my exhaust, cheers,
I ordered direct from Malian. Send them an email and tell them you saw my video, and they might give you a good deal. 👍
Nice video and good sound clip
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 ?
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 👍
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.

Not that it will help, but I have the headers at the shop ready to install 😀
@@frax77haha. Maybe that’ll be enough to make me copy your build. Can’t wait to hear how it sounds.
Can I ask where you ordered it from? Thanks
Direct from Malian mate. 👍 @malianexhausts

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
Well, it's a good thing I have the rest of the exhaust just delivered, ready for install 😄
Next video....
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.
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.
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.
I like this, not too noisy, but sounds nice.
@@frax77 I know this is an old comment but this is all I needed to hear. Thank you! Just ordered it
These cars are a future classic. Anything after 2007 2nd gen. No one will want them. Rubbish cars....
