Drivetrain (Cooper S) MINI Cooper S (R53) intakes, exhausts, pulleys, headers, throttle bodies, and any other modifications to the Cooper S drivetrain.

Drivetrain OBX Header, unfair copy of Supersprint or just plain old competition?

But now that I have so much more time on my hands... I get to spend some of them thinking silly thoughts...

My Bias? did you see my signature? I'm running both the OBX header and the OBX catback.

from the Andy: "I guess the resolution to this issue is for each individual to make a determination of their own comfort level with what appears to be blatant copying. Personally, I'd tend to go for something made by a reputable company with some creativity to their design (like M7, ed.) and who backs it up with testing data that passes the sniff test" (not like M7, ed).

maybe the test should be if it looks like it, smells like it and tastes like it...
