The price will be less then the others out there. It will be well worth the wiat. It will have a resonator Test Pipe that comes with it. The CAT will be an upgrade to the Resonator Test Pipe. This gives you 2 options, one for Street and one for Track.

Looks like a really nice setup. Its always good to have shops local . Might have to take a drive to your shop one of these days when i get my MCS soon. Question on your header design. Is this a equal length setup? From the pictures it does not look like it. But have you ever considered a equal length setup? Any time frame on when you will make this available?

Not Yet...

It's part of an every growing List of items on hold because of manufacturing.

Some parts had to be tweaked for fitament, others just took some extra tooling up, but they are all in the process.

The List includes:
New Header with Cat Option
Redesigned Exhaust with 1 muffler for weight savings
Redesigned Rear upper Stress Bar
Resesigned Oil Cooler
Light Weight Damper Pulley
Wide Band 02 Sensor and Computer Hookup
Upgraded Cylinder Head Springs
High Temp Valve Seals
etc.

I strive to have the most complete lineup of products for the Mini Cooper out there!

Lots of work, and most are just getting built as I type this. Please be patient, as I will only roll out a product when I feel it is at 100%. I have never released a product unless it is fully tested, and that is the way I would like to keep it.

Will you be able to beat or even come CLOSE to the $200 bill for the OBX header?

I still don't understand why I see headers for honduhs everywhere for the $150 range and then it seems like people want to charge 5-10 TIMES that amount for our cars because its a mini. We still only have four cylinders, we still have front wheel drive, and the header is setup almost identically......

If we cut out that last section, where the OBX Cut's out, then we would be able to beat that price. But since we are including a section, so you don't have to cut and weld your stock header, it will be a bit more.

With the CAT, It is a bit more because the CAT Wholesale cost is still pretty pricey. That is one reason that the costs are a bit higher on the full Headers. I still think that we can compete with a great header, for about half what the others are charging.

This sounds very interesting but when is it going to be finished, I want to see the oil cooler more than anything.

For the header w/o Cat, will it be shorter as to allow for an aftermarket cat if desired?

It will have a removable Test Pipe that the Pilo Racing Cat will bolt up to, or for you to make your own.
