In case those of you were unaware, the magnaflow system (cat-back mind you) now produces 20-30 hp and it has gone up in price to $1100 from monstermini. This is obviously sarcastic, as I saw it here on ebay.

It appears from the description that the 20-30 HP gain is only achieved when installed on a MINI COPPER S :smile:

 

that exhaust is a mess!! have you seen the picture of the tips??

ive never seen an exhaust produce 20-30bhp.......10bhp MAX !!!...i nearly spilt my coffee when i read that

 

20-30? be luckly to get 8-10 then only with a miltex header-cat-back.
doug

 

You nearly spilt your coffee but I did spit out my ice tea reading this guy claim....
I for got to add that my intake add 50 to 60 hp.........

 

DYNO DYNO DYNO....PROVE IT

 

Hey Cooper, I'm waiting for someone to dyno the AGS first.........

 

That's terrible.

Mini copper? '00 up?

It came off a 2002 Mini, and he's quoting horsepower for S-types? They didn't even make S in 2002, eh? And this guy obviously knows jack about Mini's if he's saying from 2000 and up.

ADD:
Here's another ebay Mini drivetrain auction, quoting a gain of 8-15HP from a $5 intake:

as I've been driving one since 02...... Iguess I've just been confused...

back in '03 multiple posts were made about the alledged HP gains from tapeing over the three vent holes at the front of the underside of the bonnet

 

That is crazy, the sellers is nuts! What did they do to those tips???

 

The 20-30 HP gains are in line with the 10 HP I got from putting on a stubby antenna and the 15 HP I got from tinting the windows.

 

DOOD thaT'S AWSOME!! I have a set of polished air horns I put om my car from a F355...can I tell you it was like a 15-20 hp in crease as well so wit hthat exhaust I would be set!

 

Yup, guess there's more than one person that doesn't know much about MINIs

 

That isn't nearly as much hp as me. According to his calculations i have over 1000 horsepower and its on my 2000 mini copper S.

 

lol...............:l ol:

 

I sure hope my 02 MCS doesn't hear that.

 

You have a hundred stubby antennas? Wow! I bet you get really good reception on your radio!

 

Back to reality, here's the actual gains from a Magnaflow exhaust on my MCS that had a 15% pulley.



Nearly identical performance until after 6k rpm.

 

I understand that if you drive the car off of a cliff - top end / torque will greatly increase. Of course to dyno this means sacrificing the dyno over the cliff and for that reason its never been dyno'ed.

 

It must be a remarkable feat of engineering that made the same exhaust fit both the '00 and the later models, since the '00 looks like this: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...ini/index.html

 

yea but the alta cia can prouduce up to 95 bhp and the exhaust with header can be as high as 115 bhp but then sooner or later you will wake up from your dream and smell the coffe and realize that it was only a dream!!! lol lol

 

thats why you don't trust ebay sellers...

 

Well, apparently my CAI added 15hp.

Nice...fair play. But not nearly as good as ACMINIs 50/60 bhp
