Lots of information here on your Gen of car between the threads, the owners and the vendors. If you have not already done so, may I suggest you check out the Gen2 Mod - Drivetrain section? Exhausts and turbos would be addressed in that section.
2012 Cooper S with manual transmission.
Liking it a lot so far.
Perfectly content with the performance, but would love to get more of that turbo noise.
What is the easiest/cheapest way to do that?
Nice lookin' ride! Our R57 would be a standard tranny if my wife could navigate it. And I don't hear the turbo in ours, because I always have the tunes going, usually quite loud
Welcome to NAM! Easiest way to get more noise from your turbo is a performance intake. aFe Power makes a great intake for your R56. Can check it out in our catalog, just click the parts link in my signature. If you want any more input on some great mods be sure to let me know. Enjoy your time here.
