Curious to see the dyno results, also sent you a PM with some questions. Can you post up a video from inside the car showing normal driving interior sound? No sport button, no open exhaust valves

A tune is not needed, but a tune will make it way more fun

Thanks Mario. It's nice to know you can get the DP now and always tune it later.

I have more F series downpipes in stock. 7 of them will be Extreme Ceramic Coated Black by Friday.
Let me know if you would like to reserve one.

F series B46/48 Downpipe
My F 2.0 series DP's It's 2.75" 304 16G Stainless Steel, ported flange, mandrel bend piping and OEM size flare. Keeping and even 2.75 keeps the low end drivability, but makes great top end power and no freeway drone. The Extreme Ceramic can handle up to 2300F, important since the turbo reaches over 1600F+. Ceramic also protects for customers living, with salted winter roads
The flange is ported to align with factory turbos and to match the new growing market of hybrid turbos.
Expect about a 15-20% increase in sound, with a deep done.
They are $749 in the Extreme black finish and $649 in bare stainless finish, this includes tax and shipping in the US.

Also, my new batch of downpipes now have built in downpipes frequency bung on the second O2 sensor, so it won't trigger a non- cat CEL

Thank you
Mario

Both my GP2 and Countryman are calttess with no smell. The cars are ULEV and SULEV so smell is near nothing. I understand the smell you are talking about, but not in the Mini.

I have done a couple of them increased the cold side inducer/exducer. I believe JMTC is working a 1.5L and 2.0L upgraded turbos.
Is your F series a S or JCW?

It will pass smog because the 2nd O2 bung design doesn't trigger a code. Testing is done with just OBD2 read and visual. If the computer reads clean then it passes. The DP is hidden and can't be seen even when the card is lifted.

Can't wait to get my downpipe!! I hope to install it sometime next week depending on weather. I will be doing the install myself, is anyone interested in a DIY? I can't promise that I will have time to document everything but I can attempt.

I sent you the UPS tracking yesterday, should be coming soon. A DIY would be great, I guy in Florida made a video you can check out.

BTW don't forget to reuse the 5" metal gasket ring off the stock DP.

I would really like to order a dp for my f56. Would you be able to help me with that?

The F56 DP is no joke and has many challenges compared to others. I expect really nice, top end gains and I have unique second O2 bung, that won't trip a CEL light for no cat. The Jig is coming around nicely. I should have a finished F56 DP in 2 weeks
Here are few pix and one of my R56 DP with the Extreme Ceramic coating that handles up to 2300F
Thanks

Just ordered mine from Mario! So excited!!! Sucks I won't be able to put it on till my car gets fixed and out the shop. Just excited my Ceramic DP is ordered. Been wanting to put an Mqubed DP on my wife's R56 since it wouldn't trigger any Cel and pass smog. She wouldn't let me, so I got my own Mini and it's all downhill from there. lol.

Thank you for your order. It goes out tomorrow morning (should only be two days). The tape got a little sideways, was teaching my 7yr old how to ship.
Thanks
