So based on what you now know you can design a header that doesn't throw codes ever, correct J? Was this new found knowledge the reason Mynes has already redesigned their just released header?

Longboard

 

QFT

 

No that's not the reason but it helps I found it in software and it is not maps, it's actual code. Wow you get information fast...lol

 

Once the cat is "Lit" So the way I read into this is the car will set off the check engine light because the cat "Lit off" Slow. once its past the inital heating phase if you reset the code thru the scangauge or whatever it should not comeback. However I could be wrong. Im not sure how the mini chooses to log data in the ECU.
So what if Mynes re-did their header. More power to them.
I really want to see everyone have a great product.

 

I bought a scan gauge specifically for this. It does NOT work

The cat is just bad.

 

Are there 2 issues with the header ie cat and J-bung or are they interelated?
(just trying to understand why some headers throw codes and others do not....)

 

LB you still have not provided a name and a contact number for the person at Magnaflow that can back up Jan's fairy tale please do. And please keep it on topic which is Jan is not being honst about Magnaflow and there is nothing wrong with their cats. And also I guess why does Internet brands let him lie to their members and his boyz force other vendors, that have nothing to do with this thread, to come into it and defend themselves?

 

Why is it funny? I think its great if RMW replaces all the bad and coded headers that they sell...A company should always make the customer happy...

now stop calling me out and putting my name in these posts, as you guys (RMW crew) said as I have no RMW parts, I should not ask critical questions about them...(we all know RMW stuff just "works"????)

Im just reading in the background....NOW, please continue the drama...

 

So the reason you started this post was because of a morality issue?

RMW sold over 100 shorty header and around 15 had codes. Of those most have been fixed. How you ask? They took them off and sent them in to be repaired. Seems like a no brainier to me. I've worked for the same company for 14 years. We manufacture products. If a customer has a problem with said product our policy is to have them send it in, we repair to new condition and then send it back. Guess what? We are routinely ranked number one in customer service in are industry year after year.

You made it very clear here and on other forums that you didn't want it fixed you wanted your money back. RMW made it clear they do not give refunds.

Why will you only except a full refund? Again, looking at your post's here and on other forums you wanted a different header...

This is and will continue to be the only reason you keep posting.

I will now leave your little thread now for you and the rest of your wolf back to talk about.

Longboard

 

and with that...LB FTW

 

He didn't WANT a different header until this BS came up. Same with me...

How can you say "most have been fixed" if you don't even know where some of them are if customers decide to cut communication with the company.

Yes.. Lying is a morality "issue"....... DUH!!!!

So.. you are saying that he is posting because he wants a refund for a product that is of no use to him?! We should rename you to Sherlock Holmes!

I love how numbers are just tossed around about how many headers have been made and how many are defective.

I've read that there were multiple batches of bad cats and you state only 15 being a problem... Is a batch "6" "10" ????

I really don't care about the actual number, but somehow YOU seem to know them and tell everyone like it is ok to have more than 1 bad.

I've never once seen RMW post a thread stating "Hello NAM.. it has come to my attention that there were two bad batches of catalytic converters sent to me and we are in the process of replacing them with a new unit... for those of you who purchased a header between the dates of ____ to ____ and are experiencing SES light issues, please return the unit for a new replacement"

I know that whomever contacted him was given the option of a J-bung- even though it wasn't the "cure-all" for everyones issues.

In my particular case, I was told to send my address to RMW to get a J-Bung, but I never heard from RMW after that. I didn't want to play any games, so I sold the unit exactly how I had received it. Most people on here it seems like that it is acceptible anyways.

 

Nazrin - "I think its great if RMW replaces all the bad and coded headers that they sell...A company should always make the customer happy... "


Nazrin, That was a quote directly from one of your posts.

 

Yeap, I know what I said Silversmoke...and I stand by what I said...

Well its you guys (RMW crew) thats always been saying that im 'RMW hater', and Ive always insisted I am not.Im just a guy who loves the Mini and want the best product that I can afford....

I love asking questions to vendors before purchasing a product..sometimes too many questions and sometimes being overly critical...but hey, can you fault me? I just want to get the right equipment the first time right..as Im gonna stick with it for the rest of my Mini driving life...

again i will re-iterate that I have to deal with customs import tax and the killer international shipping...sooooo, dats why I ask too many questions before I make my purchase...

 

Explain how I'm RMW crew?

 

Sorry...let me rephrase that...Not RMW crew..

RMW fan....is that ok?

 

You talking morality is funny.

Yep, you sold it the way it came. In fact you didn't even bother to tell the guy it had code issues. How screwed up is that . But some screwing a fellow NAM member is OK to you for some reason

Don't worry as Jan talked to the guy and got it worked out.

Bryan

 

I was just curious as to what the backing for that statement is.
Ive herd it twice now. Call me whatever you want Im not too miffed.

 

ok then silversmoke...nevermind....you win...

 

FWIW...I have had two Magnaflow cats go south on me. The first ceramic one lasted 2 years; the new "High Flow Metallic Substrate" one is supposed to "offer considerable longevity advantage over any ceramic substrate" but died in less than 6mo. It even shot fireworks out the back while disintegrating on the dyno. As you can see in my sig the Magnaflow cat issue I am having has nothing to do with RMW...

 

Are you saying the person mental sold the header already has a new good cat on it????????? Seriously I want to know. Pm if necessary.

 

Awesome! I knew I could drag you back in here after you have said you are gone!

I thought all the headers caused codes and it was a known fact at that point.. :shrugs:

People like yellowrocket even questioned why a SES light would even bother anyone.

The biggest deal breaker for me was when it made less power than my stock unit

Should I inform people of that too or is it already a known fact too?



If anyone rides Jan's more than you.... I will give them $5.00

 

I don't want to get into the RMW/Mynes discussion, just want to give an update, since this thread seems active right now. Had the SES light come on about 1 month after installing the shorty header. I must have been one of the first few cases, as I had not seen any mentioned before I bought it and I pm'd lot's of people before buying it to make sure it was code free. Jan from RMW was very good with communicating with me, letting me know that this was a new problem and he was working on a fix. I am at nearly two months after installing the bung and still code free.

I truly hope the OP gets his problem resolved. One interesting note that I didn't previously catch was that the OP had to lengthen his wires for the sensors. I wonder if all Mini's don't have the same length wires as mines fit fine, even after adding the bung.

 

It's amazing LB back bashing away off topic as usual and still has not given the simple information that he was asked. LB I'll be direct as possible, do you have the name and number of the person at Magnaflow that told Jan to pound sand or not? If not, then stop lying and get off this thread you have nothing to add.

 

Davis it's great to hear that you are still code free, I got the header with the bung already installed and it is pointed aft that's why I had to lenghten the wires. I wanted the wires to be run as they were from the factory and not be streched tight, having the wires "banjoed" would lead to failure and codes down the road.

 

Davis, this is NOT a RMW/Mynes discussion... our name was purposefully dragged into this thread by a few (NewbsLongRocket) in an attempt to divert attention away from the true discussion of this thread.

Now back to EZputt's issue at hand... sorry for the intrusion...
