Yesterday i was at my workshop, i installed a few bits i had, meaning a Fidanza 3.6kg flywheel, Janspeed header, Powerflex control arms bushings, and front R53 sway bar. It took the whole day to complete everything, and unfortunatelly the exhaust shop was closed when i got there, so i didn't manage to fabricate the de cat pipe... Which i did today.

A taste of what was happening last night...

YouTube - MIni Cooper sound with just Janspeed header

It was so loud, but so I N S A N E, if the car wasn't a daily drive, i would definatelly pull a pipe to the side of the car In real it was much louder than what it seems in the vid... I floored it in 1st in a street with cars and shops left and right, and i managed to get all the alarms on in a 500m radius I am lucky i didnt spend the night in the police station

 

great sound mate, I should do a video of my car, I have custom header and a Milltek catback and it's pretty loud too, the best videos I have so far are these ones but I should do a better one:

Since we're posting exhaust vids

My R50 w/ a Megan catback. Windows up, no crazy revving cause it was raining.

nickbmw - that thing sounds beastly lol

 

haha. Cool vids so far.
I gotta get one of mine on the dyno... Famous quote -

"why whine when you can roar!?"

No disrespect to my S folks...
Later,
Leo.

 

Between my stereo and my Megan Exhaust at full rev going down a street I managed to set off one alarm. First time i've ever done that

 

Gotta drive around in parking garages. Always set at least 2 or 3 in each floor. I make sure to always park in the last level, of course. lol.

All kidding aside, I don't really like that it does that... People don't always enjoy the echo of alarms in a garage...

 

^but is fun to make car alarm go off

 

New vid with the final setup :D

my full mods list is bellow.

 

you should replace ur windsheild asap!

 

yup i know. ive been saving its rather expensive for just a windshield.

 

 

MINIs were the best sounding cars at the Koni Challenge races... while the SC sounds cool on those cars, the Tritec with proper "ventilation" has such awesome sound all by itself - it's like a symphony.

 

Nice sound nick, really impressive!!

 

Very nice!

 

Wish we didn't have emissions in CO. I would ef. run my R50 with aheader and no cat if we didn't!

 

Thanks you very much guys! Your opinion matters

 

Hey, I'm considering the Megan exhaust. waylen told me no real power gains...maybe 2HP? But, is there any notice in throttle response or fuel economy (when you're not mashing the throttle! )?

As far as headers go, are they worth it without P&P'd heads or cams? No emissions here in KY so I can do the cat delete

oh btw Nick, I sent you a message on youtube. Forgot you are on NAM.

 

Or you can run no exhaust like I do. Nothing is louder. Especially, if you have no interior or heat shields...
