D Stock Exhaust Options For G-Stock
#4
I personally like the QuickSilver exhaust. Since you have to cut the stock exhaust at any point of your choosing after the 2nd cat, the QuickSilver exhaust will slip right on with no alterations just after the resonator(QuickSilver comes in 2 pieces, I bet they would sell just the rear piece, thats the only piece I used during the install since the front portion eliminates the 2nd cat and resonator and isn't legal). This allows for a great sound without that annoying drone and the best part is its very lightweight and makes good power.
Not that I am biased with QuickSilver or anything, they have sponsored me for the last 2 seasons in SCCA Solo and are very supportive of our sport.

Sorry for all the questions but for an R56 I can install as long as I cut it behind the red circle (see attached photo)? That will be legal for G-Stock? If you don't mind also could you send me a list of the set up on your G-Stock R56? I'm new to autox in the mini so I'm trying to muddle through setting up the car. Thanks!

Actually thats partially correct. The red circled area is the resonator, and, you can legally remove it. However, you cannot use the entire QuickSilver system since the front portion of the system replaces the cat, which is the canister just to the left of the circled piece. The rear portion of the QuickSilver system is what i chose to use(rather than cutting/splicing part of the front system to remove the resonator). If you cut exactly at the correct point(by measuring carefully) after the resonator, the rear portion of the QuickSilver slips over the stock pipe and the QuickSilver uses the factory hanger points. The exhaust shop had mine installed in about 20 minutes with no rattles/leaks. Its unbelievable that the rear piece on the QuickSilver happened to be just after the resonator and it happens to slip onto the stock pipe. I am not sure if they planned that or not, I would assume not, so, it just happens to work perfectly.

As far as G-Stock setup, sure, I will PM you all the details. I remember when I first started running GS, Garfield was extremely helpful and gave me mucho info so I try to do the same for those in need.

Bringing this one back. Was at a Mini tech day at the local dealer and was speaking with one of the dealer techs. We had the car up on a lift and were discussing the stock exhaust system.
He was adament that there is only 1 cat on the car and that the canister to the left is also a resonator. He pointed out that a CAT has to have at least 1 O2 sensor before or after to monitor emissions. Any truth to this? If so it seems like you could bolt some of the entire systems on without cutting where the first cat meets the flex pipe.
