I have a 2013 Mini Cooper s - what basic mods should I do first?
Basic Mini Mods? Budget Friendly?
My previous mini was an 09' cooper s and it was heavily modded when I purchased it. Sadly a tree fell on it and after it was basically resurrected, it was totaled in Atlanta traffic. I know I want to put another cold air intake on it, but what are some things I can do to make it have a little more noise without getting an exhaust. I live in Atlanta in case anyone is nearby. So far, I have only done cosmetic things like adding decals, replacing sun-faded emblems (Car is originally from FLA), I basically painted the outter black trim to make it look better, new tires, and new headlights.
Thanks in advance

I also have a '13 MCS. My thoughts on mine are to get a Wagner or Forge Intercooler and the turbo-to-intercooler charge tube(s) that removes the turbo muffler, larger rear sway bar and better tires. I think the cold air intake combined with the removal of the charge pipe muffler sounds like it would make more noise if that is what you want.
In addition to that you could get a catless downpipe for the exhaust rather than a full exhaust. Also, people seem to be installing Forge BOVs. I don't know if this makes more noise or not, but it might. I also don't know at what point with these parts you need to tune the ECU for them.

Charge tubes, intake, intercooler. NM engineering power module since you have an N18, they dont have one for the n14 yet.
