why do you say that?? too loud ?

 

Found a short video on one of the other forums poster by a guy who's running a catless Riss Racing DP with a Magnaflow - no resonator either. The video is really short but basically he says it's annoyingly loud. I think he's looking to add a resonator to quiet it down.

I'd post a link but NAM blocks links to other forums. It's pretty easy to find though.

 

edited *I posted Bostons youtube page but i dont want the douche to try and take down his plates so if you really want to know what it sounds like then search and you should find it

 

Wow, just came back to the thread and did not realize that there was so much anticipation for the vid. Yes, it WAS done. Yes, it IS loud. Yes, it IS raspy. It backfires, pops, burbles etc not only on every gear change but every time I release the throttle. Is it obnoxious? Probably yes but music to my ears and I love it!! Onefish2 and I will be getting together soon and I am hoping that he will help me shoot the vid from inside the car and my reasons are twofold. First, I won't have to worry about editing my license plate so that tree hugging, Prius loving trolls won't report me. Second, this should give you a better idea of what it sounds like while actually driving in a real scenario and going through the gears from inside the cabin.

On a side note, I had the opportunity to drive a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport yesterday and I think the adrenaline is still coursing through my veins!!! It is nothing like I thought it would be. Very docile, comfortable, easy to handle and drivable car. Got her up to about 120 mph on the Merritt Pkwy and 287 but too much traffic for much more. Needless to say, the car is a beast and puts the power to the ground like nothing i have ever felt before but what surprised me the most was that This is a car that can definitely be driven everyday, if you can afford it that is. In short, this is what a true modern sports car should be. I've driven the latest Ferrari's, Aston's, Maserati's, Porsche's, Lambo's, etc. and this car made them all seem like toys. Hoping to get a chance to drive the new McLaren this week...

 

 

You know that braap noise the R56 makes when you partially lift off the throttle when you're driving? It's made much louder. Basically day to day driving is not fun (and I love loud cars. I drive my dad's GT3, drove my R53 catless, one balled, and with an OBX exhaust manifold day-to-day, drove a full race Honda civic with toda exhaust, ITBs, etc, and could have driven it everyday. My brother's car sounds sorta like a Harley, all noise, rather than....sound. And his car hasn't been de-resonated

 

Waiting for the lock now...

 

Lock?

 

yeah for talking about "racing" or "illegal" driving on public roads.

 

yeah i am waiting for that too.... BigminiAL please delete your last post so we can keep this thread going.. its too funny to stop

 

come on, 1 vid PLEASE!

 

The video is coming. How do I know? I met up with Al today. I shot the video while he drove the car. It will be worth waiting for. Its impressive.

In the meantime. Check out our not so clean cars in a not so nice setting. Better than nothing...

 

nice mini!

 

Good looking mini's

 

I want that red and black body kit al has

 

ya thats pretty dope...

 

Not the best vids but here they are. 2 were with the windows down and one up.

So what do you guys think? I think it sounds nice and aggressive with the windows down and more civilized with them rolled up.

In the 3rd video at the end you can hear me saying that I spilled soda all over myself. It was just a bit after all. But hearing that again gave me a good LOL.

 

Its the standard JCW aero kit. He had the brake ducts painted Chili Red before they were put on.

 

That sounds so good! Way better then expected. And I was going to say you spilt soda in his car!!! I don't allow drinks in mine hahaha

 

It sounds awesome. I was very impressed. I spilled the soda on myself. Not all over his car. It was hard to hold the iPhone and the soda at the same time. Something had to give.

 

Haha understandable. Ya it sounded amazing!

 

Sounds great! Took away any worries I had about it. Now I can't wait to get mine installed. I'll be sure that no one brings sodas into my car!

 

Yeah you will love it!!! Keep in mind that the first 3-5 days will be LOUD but it settles in after some carbon buildup.

 

I remember when the shop I went to first installed my catless dp, deleted the resonator and started it up. The looks on their faces were priceless. They were surprised how loud a mini could actually be but you're definitely right Al. After a few days I noticed that I either got used to the sound quite quickly or that it did quiet down a bit, or both. Anywho, your mini sounds and looks great
