  • It's finally time to give the MCS R53 a new voice with an upgraded exhaust from Malian. This is their 2.5" cat-back performance sports stainless system which is not only great in quality but also value for money. It has added so much character to the little Mini and I love that the pops and burbles are now actually audible.
    Tune in for a quick fitment overview before jumping onboard to listen to this thing scream!

    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.

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

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

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

    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.

    • @frax77

    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 UA-cam video is of the sport version 😔

    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
      @frax77  Місяць тому

      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 👍

      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.

    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

    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
      @frax77  11 місяців тому +1

      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
      @jeromecourreges534 11 місяців тому +2

      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.

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