I just got done doing some work on my MINi. I added a RR catless down pipe, an Invidia Q300 exhaust, rear seat delete, 17 lbs Braille battery and the stage 3 tune on my AP and just WOW this car is awesome. I did not do the exhaust manifold. There was way too much to remove and I did not have all the tools that I thought I needed to do the job. Once I get my Bent;eys I will revisit it. I also did not install my MINI Challenge air divertor because I need to revisit that one too. My thoughts so far as the exhaust is still burning off the crap inside is that it is awesome and was completely worth the effort. I will repost in a couple of days a better debrief on everything.

 

Those aren't your only mods right? As you shouldn't be on stg 3 if so...

 

Lol told you the manifold was a little more involved than it looks

And yea, not sure if you have an FMIC....but I'd be very careful if I were you running Stg 3 without an IC.

Your motor will share the same fate plenty of ours have

 

I have a Helix IC don't worry about it. I am not like some of the NAM tards out here. Just saying.
