Are Mini Coopers loud?
My MINI Cooper, at over 30k km is fairly loud. The well worn tires yield a fair bit of road noise on rough pavement and the engine has a fairly loud note even with the stock exhaust and just a K&N filter.
What is the cheapest way to make your car louder?
If your exhaust system has any sort of opening or leak in it, or you have a hole in your muffler, exhaust will escape having not been completely dampened by the piping, catalytic converter, and muffler. This will cause your exhaust to sound much, much louder, and is the cheapest method available.

Do Mini Coopers backfire?
GTmini is correct in that the MINIs do run rich and the unburned gasoline vapors are ignited in the cat, making popping sounds. Too much of this and you might end up with a burst cat.
