Hi Just picked up a 2007 Cooper S. Want a little more kick without major modifications. Has anyone installed one of these kits? Do you recommned one over the other? Is there any other kits that may be better? Help, well appreciated

 

Instead of going with one of those kit's, i'd say you're better off buying RMW's tune and a downpipe (if you can deal with CEL's)

That should give you an extra 15-20hp and 25-35tq, and your power curve will overall be a lot better.

And if you have a bit more money to spend, get a Helix FMIC as well.

 

Look at this link just to give you a feel for some of the different vendors.

Being a badge wearing "stage 4 " disciple of Mr.Mehallic I guess that I'm somewhat qualified to reply to your request. Most ALL of the independants are there because of their passion ,their knowledge , their inquisitiveness in PRODUCTIVE process's and TESTED (real world)products that WILL achieve THEIR & their CLIENTS goals.ALL of these guys (of which are not many) ARE there as an available trustworthy and satisfaction guaranteed ASSET to "our" community and WITHOUT question should be the ONLY "vendors" that I will EVER reccomend you to use for services and / or materials; THEY use or reccomend. And THAT IS where I stand. If you're a person who would normally think of wal-mart for your moms / wifes / husbands /dads / birthday , anniversery or "Holiday Celebration present; than "WE" have the same places. If your going to have heart surgery you would most likely see a SPECIALIST who WOULD WANT to save you; NOT an undertaker who'd measure you for "the box". Must stop NOW as I hear the mice squeaking; GOOD LUCK & "MOTOR ON" OBEY

 

What did he say?

Oh get an RMW tune, downpipe and intercooler. Dont get a three inch exhaust you will loose back pressure and power. if you must do exhaust get a 2.5 or 2.75.
