Default SuperSprint back boxes

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.

If I was currently looking I'd make you an offer.

May be something I'll look at in the future but thanks anyhow.
