you are one lucky guy M3!
Just spoke with Anthony
Thanks for the followup. I'm dropping the MINI off Monday and leaving it with them for two weeks. I shared with Anthony that what the Cooper S needs is improved intake and exhaust manifolds, he said they are in development or planning.
O2 sim test
Correct
the catted downpipe looks really interesting, but I'll second Boomers concern w/ the lack of a lower brace. 3 things good downpipe needs, no CELs (without a sim), fits under stock heat shields, and the brace.
The extra bung is a nice bonus !

Sounds like a great guy! This is some interesting stuff. I hope it all works out well!
What about people who have a aftermarket catback though? Most of us do, will this system mate with all the ones out there? Also, is it a 2.5 inch system or 3?
Thanks!

System is 2.5" the flow for the 1.6L is more then enought, and in the research done should actually make more power. Most 3" systems require it to tapper down to 2.5" to meet up with flanges and therefore disrupt air flow. Also 3" is a bit over kill, look at other 4cyl turbo cars such as the Evo or STI with displacement ranging from 2.0L to 2.5L with 16G turbos ... much larger displacement, and much larger turbos. The K03 and K04s on our cars dont need that big of a downpipe.
As for exhaust I beleive these mate up with stock exhaust perfectly so if you can run stock downpipe with your aftermarket exhaust these should work fine with it.

Unfortunately for me, I jumped at the first system possible for my car at the time which was ALTA, so I have a 3 inch system. So unless I change the exhaust system, this is a no go for me. Depending on the results put down by the dyno, this may be an excuse for me to do the exhaust system over and do it right this time...Not that the ALTA is a bad system, but there are so many more options now. Thanks again for the info and keep us posted on the results!

3) The braces as on the N54 downpipes we make are unnecessary. The pipes are much lighter, and there are no vibration issues. We made the downpipe so it's purely bolt on. This requires no cutting of the exhaust, and it mates up too the OEM flex section. So there is no major stress on the downpipes. If it's something you guys really want added this is not a problem to do. We appreciate your feedback so keep it coming!
Cheers!

Did they settle on 2.5"?

Tried calling 714-850-0139-----no answer!
Tried emailing sales and got the following:
Not Found
The requested URL /alpha/sales@rissracing.com was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I'll ask my questions here:
The coating: Does it have any insulation qualities (ceramic) or is it just cosmetic?
How many cels are the cats?
Is the brace available and is there an extra charge? How much is the charge?
The piece looks really good but how do I reach you guys?
Cheers!
