I was thinkin about putting one of those "cannons" or jdm exhausts you usually see on hondas or eclipses. Any ideas? I would basically remove my resonator and stock muffler and just straight pipe it back. Making hangers would be easy since i know how to weld. Its a 2004 cooper s btw. Any suggestions?

 

You are on the wrong forums, you have and R53 and this is the R56 forums.

However, I do have an R53 racecar with a straight pipe. It is very loud and noticeable. I don't think you could live with it on the street, or not get noticed by the law enforcers!!

oh ****. It said i posted in the 1st gen section.... But anyway, i am involved with cars and drive a bunch of them, loud and not, so i could live with the sound, but i was wondering mainly, a, has anybody done it, and b, would it pass the decibal law? I dont know if you have one but in pa the cars volume musnt be above 120db i believe. :|

 

120dB? Really? That's like a jet taking off...lol

Please don't. I laugh everytime I see one of those cars. They make a lot of noise and aren't going fast. Besides, why give the police a lot of warning that you are coming? (or going)

 

Im not 100% sure its 120db, but there is a limit haha. And minis arent slow! :P but as for the cops, what are they gonna do, pull me over for being young and tuning my car?

 

Why, yes they can, and will...lol

 

Pretty much

 

Well the cops can have fun catching up in the turns! I live in central pa, and i live near a bunch of mountains and hills.

 

The problem isn't outrunning the cop car, it's outrunning the Motorola.

 

please don't put a fart can on your cooper S. this isn't a ****ing honda

 

Exactly! Woods and mountains equals bad signal! Haha, they would still find me. And to be honest, im wanting to do a custom exhaust but im running out of ideas. Help?

 

Plenty of things you can do without going with a fart cannon. You may want to look into how much a magnaflow muffler would run you and have a shop make you a custom setup with one of those. For already made systems, you ought to look around on youtube, there should be plenty of clips with different setups for the 1st gen.

 

You are about to become a RICER and why not add a big wing that would help that car fly and have a sign TO WIDE TO TURN. You want to become a laughing stock then i support your project.

 

I'll assume you were joking there.

Like others have mentioned, if you want a loud exhaust put on some headers with a high flow cat and a Magnaflow. They're not known to be quiet but aren't fart cans either.

 

yeah, i dont want a premade system. They cost tit loads. Would thrush or flowmaster be good or total ***? I heard they sucked.

 

and i wasnt all for putting a cannon on, but like i said i was curious to kbow if anyone already did that. And we put a cannon on my buddies 00 subaru impreza and it was pretty funny, and he insisted i get one.

 

Please, we insist that you don't.

 

+1000000000

 

would anyone suggest dynamax?

 

Never heard of them

 

Darn :/ flowmaster?

 

let him do it only to find out that he's losing too much back pressure. he thinks its funny thats why he wants to be laugh at. sometimes you gotta let someone fall flat on their face to learn and realize. no need to pls him or anybody not to do it. ill eat my popcorn without butter on this

 

Popcorn without butter!?! Sir, that is blasphemy!

 

i LISTEN to my doctor to last a lifetime. yup no butter,

 

Aww, but the artery clogging goodness is just so addictive!
