SuperSprint back boxes

[pops]

Duck egg question alert!!

Apart from weight, what's the advantage with a SuperSprint back box?

Does it turn the car into something that growls along?

I know only too well from the GP that it's easy to end up with a sound that's not what's expected and is disappointing. The only advantage of getting it wrong in the Mini world is that it isn't as expensive!

I wouldn't worry about the weight - as Shim says, just drive faster!

They sound absolutely epic but not so much as to impact on enjoyment of the car. The slight upsweep on the tailpipe looks good too !

Thank you,

Not bothered at all re weight, just wondered why they were so highly rated.

Improving the sound without it becoming a pain sounds like the answer I was after

Too easy on car to end up with something that drones more than the other half.

CSLSuperfan has one on, full system - he's your man but watch out he doesn't infect you with chronic Upgraditus or Black Wheel Syndrome . . .

Supersprint certainly on my list of wants but not just yet.

I had a chronic case of upgraditus when I bought the GP.

On pills now.

Open to very sensible offers? It has only covered a few hundred miles.

I've quoted one of many threads that deserve a mention.

BBK & Cups will transform your car on the premis that you can actually drive the csl to it's potential.


I have seen this first hand with Shimmy,Baz,Nick J at Spa & Assen

and Glendog,Matt,Karbonkid and several other aggressive drivers @ the Ring.

I am way behind the above but decided sometime ago to festoon my car with numerous add ons just to make me feel better

The OEM csl exhaust is magic and does allow you to hear the airbox in its element.

If you've got a hankering to replace the BB, the SS lightweight race is a worthy replacement. A real bonus of the SS BB over other variants is it's a recognised replacement system and therefore odds on to sell quickly should you decide to do so after a period of experimentation.

I've got a super sprint fitted and it sounds the dogs. Still have standard exhaust which for a "lightweight" car is hilarious as heavy as hell. Adds a nice amount of bass to the rear as standard sounds too tinny imo.

anyone near me (Warwickshire) running a Supersprint I could hear?
