Anyone seen any of these? Looks like they are making Both a 2.5" catback exhaust and a 3" full exhaust removing the second cat. Also shows a rear swaybar and an intake available (but no pics of the intake)

Prices seem reasonable but never dealt with the company.

VIP makes excellent parts. I had many on my countryman s. I'm definitely going to look into the rear sway.

 

I would like to hear the exhaust. Is there any "drone" at speed?

 

I posted this somewhere in earlier but actually emailed them a while back, because the parts had pricing, somewhat implying that they might be available now. The reply I got back was to the effect of "by the end of the year". It does look like they have updated the site and may actually be taking orders for the exhausts and light brackets.

Personally, I am really interested in the fresh air intake. The F56 needs that way more than a cat-back in my opinion. The stock exhaust is not a major bottleneck.

 

True I would like to get the intake as well . However I think deleting the second cat will actually lead to some real power gains. Looks like it's been proven to add gains in the r56 series 1.6t motors

 

NM Engineering should have one soon costing $400+ (estimated based on their last kit). I'm looking forward to see how they all compare.

 

i emailed NM today and they told me their intake will be about $300 or less, and will be CARB cert in 2015

 

sweet! I was thinking $400+ was a bit steep for an intake
