what kind of pipping do u recommend for my mini R56 S?
silicon, or steel? wich one is better?

 

wutup kadaj,

alright...I have the alta silicon pipe ful kit and its unreal..it makes the car sound 10000000 times better but with a few flaws that are causing me to change them. The intake hose is fine..no problems at all. However...when i was installing the preintercooler charge pipe (hot side) it was extremely hard to fit because alta didnt really make a good clearence. There new preintercooler pip is hard and very good though, and the coldside pipe ive heard people say that it gases on a few engine screws and such and causesboost leak. If i were you and still in the market...hit up exhaustdepot, they make a hardpipe kit which has better flow better clearence and wont gash or leak. Hit them up! you can even get an HKS blowoff valve installed onto the pipe for some very serious sound. Hope I helped! And goodluck!

NM Engineering... the quality cant be beat but they are a bit more expensive. silicone heat soaks more than aluminum.

 

Good to look into! I'm in the market to change my pipes as well. Might be having my bodyshop make custom chrome aluminum pipes

 

what about the madness muffler delete?

 

Still have the factory rubber hoses which can expand when heated.

 

The muffler delete wont give you any power or more airflow, its really just going to give you more sound.

 

I just picekd up the exhaust depot ones, cant wait to install them in 2 months

 

keep us up to date!
