I have a 2005 mini cooper non s, and was wondering if it is possible to take my none s and make it a s. if it can be done what would have to be done. if not then what parts will go good on my car.

 

It would be possible, but financially it is a horrible idea. For the cost you could buy an S and be ready to go.

If you want to mod just a cooper start with an intake and rear swaybar.

 

what kinda exhaust can i get with out it changing the overall sound too much from the stock unit. if possible is there something that will keep it the same sound just more noticeable sound in the car and while acceleration

 

You'll get more sound out of the intake, it will be a great throaty sound.

 

thanks

 

one more question how is a afe MAGNUM FORCE STAGE 2 intake are they as good as they say they are. i am sorry if this is repetitious i came over from the off road world and never delt with anything that wasn't diesel this is all new to me and i am stuck.

 

Screw the S! Get yourself some JCW parts!!

 

Making the Cooper into an S isnt a hard task. I have everything I need minus the motor..After its all said and done it will only cost me 4k....so 1K over the OEM cost.....not too bad....

Probably only cost effective IF you can do most of the work free of labor charges..
Do you have to have the "S" ECU to go along with the install???
