If i put headers on my Mini Cooper will it still pass smog?
Thanks

 

As long as a cat is attached to it. A header doesn't affect emissions.

 

sweet looks like ill be picking up a set! Is there a big increase in sound?

 

I have the OBX, it is throatier and a bit louder, not bad.

 

do you have an exhaust attatched to it?? headers usually make an exhaust roar

 

would it make the stock mini cooper s roar?

 

it might increase volume alittle.. but shouldnt make much of a difference. atleast it didnt on the rex haha

 

What headers would you all suggest?

 

O B X

 

Do you dont liek obx?

 

I think the suggestion is that OBX is great bang-for-the-buck...

 

Oh ok.

 

does OBX make them for the cooper? (non-s)

 

both cars. Just like stock!

alrighty thanks. Where is the best to buy from?

 

sparktec motors (and eBay vendor) sold them for ~$200. But keep in mind they have no cat. I think Helix may sell it with a stock cat on it for $400. That's a deal, as you can keep your old manifold to go back to stock if ever you need....

Sounds like a pretty good deal.

 

Hello, Folks I have searched the web for a while but I've had no luck so far. About 2-3 months ago I purchased a Meagean Header from E-bay and a Supersprint cat- back exhaust system, the header comes with a cat deleted resonator. The OEM Catalytic Converter is part of the original intake manifold, (is one piece)
A while ago I was able to find the link to a manufacturer of a hi-flow cat that will fit this particular setup, but I can't find it any longer, does anyone know where can I find one? this particular model had the flanges built in so it was a bolt on, it sold for about $150.00 back then. I would appreciate any help on trying to locate this vendor of maybe a reccomendation on another model with the same features and about the same price range. Thanks again

high-flow mettalic race catalytic converter, spelled correctly of course, and you'll get lots and lots of hits. One I found a while ago you could get with basically any pipe diameter on it you wanted, up to almost the diameter of the cat case.....

Here's the link....
