Finally got around to taking the Mini into a shop for a one ball mod today. I also managed to do this without uploading a shitty phone video to youtube. Im pretty happy with the results, it’s not quite as loud as I had expected but it crackles and pops literally all the time now and this makes me very happy. (Not my video obviously but so you can get the idea )
The shop I took it to actually cut out the entire exhaust from the cat back and just ran it into the existing muffler which isn’t typically how the one ball is done but Im very pleased with it. Definitely a worthwhile mod for the R53 owners out there.

Very nice! I miss my R53, badly. I love my mkvi GTI, but those crackles and pops were the best.

You actually have an exhaust GoPro mount? That’s dedication.

I have now googled “one ball mod” and I comprehend.
as long as you kept the cat, yay for louder exhausts!

That gen mini S exhaust is incomprehensibly stupid. Two mufflers, piped in series. All aftermarket exhausts either use two mufflers but with two pipes, or just use a single muffler. Or, you get a sawzall and go one-ball.

Haha that probably would have been good to explain a bit. The funny thing is, is that it’s not really any louder, I just get more crackles and pops.

Had to do the same thing, because terrible curiosity. Are they just 3 seperate units of mufflers/resonators? Seems similar to what vw’s do cutting out the suitcase mufflers.

Yep. Saw that. Understood it. Question still stands (albeit i meant two, and not 3, so my mistake). Are they just a pair of muffler packs?

Pretty much, they are identical in every way except for their orientation and where the inlet and outlets are. A normal car would have two pipes, one to each muffler and one tip but instead Mini chose to do them in series.
