Pros and cons of adding these mods...
Going to be making some mods to my mini and want to know the pros and cons of them.
The first mod is doing the delete turbo exhaust. Was planning on just removing the exhaust and adding a piece of stainless or alumnium tube is it's place. What kind of hp gains can I expect from this? Will it be too much air for the stock intercooler to handle?
2nd mod is adding a cai. Was thinking of this one
K&N 69-2004TTK 69 Series Typhoon Black Air Intake Kit
K&N claims 11 HP gains by adding this. I've also seen this one
AEM 21-699C Cold Air Intake System
AEM claims 14 HP gain. $100 more dollars than the K&N to gain 3 HP. I imagine with this one I would get more air suction noise during had excellerating.
Is there any negatives to during either of these mods. I dont want to add anything to my mini that's going to hurt it in the long run.
Any and all input is welcome
Thanks!!
