my dad's done it before, but not on a mini lol, risky job, but worth it imo


Just check your measurements 50 times then once more for luck before the chop cos if its done wrong then I think its more or less fucked!!

playmini is the one you're thinking of.

they're good exhausts, yeah. you'll want a decent manifold too, a decent LCB one, maniflow or similar
