Which one are you folks using and is cost effective?

Thanks.

 

Make it yourself. Go to an exhaust shop get a piece of pipe have them put a flare on each end so the hose clamp that hold on the rubber tubing has somthing to bite on. Save the money. That's what I did and works exactly the same as a "bought one".

 

You can tell a difference in the throttle respose but it's a little nothing crazy. Doing them yourself if say is totally worth it. Spending the money to buy one seems dumb to me because of what they charge for it.

 

Thanks for the response and especially the pics.

Do you have the dimension?

 

I use a 8 inch long piece that's 2 inches in Diameter. It cost me like 8 bucks. So for the diy version it's worth the money, to buy it I dont think it is just because they charge so much for the part. Also if u wanted it to be black just use some high temp engine paint. But it was a fun little project that u can fell a little difference with that makes u feel like it was worth the time and few bucks.

 

You can make your own or buy an insert from Way, it's reasonable if you don't have the equipment to make your own.

Does group buys occur on this site?

 

I've not seen one, email him and ask. Also, there's not too many folks out there looking for this sort of thing since it basically does nothing but help boost flow slightly.

 

Found this too.

It will work, just depends if u wana spend the 40 on it or diy it for 8 to 10 and recieve the same exact thing. Just however feel, also u will not see it so that's why I didn't mind that it was Powder-coated or had a name on it.

 

We've sold many of the other pipes on the market, but being $100+, or even over $240 I wanted something more cost effective and always fit perfect. So we made ours out of solid aluminum and machined nice grooves to keep the hoses tight. We found with the tubes with rolled beads on tuned cars with more boost would leak. So making sure the hoses seal was the most important thing.

And if you have an N14 with the noise maker, removing the noise maker has shown even more improvement. So we also machined a delete pipe to be a direct replacement for the noise maker.

Way, the links does not work.

 

I bought both the WMW delete parts. I'll be installing them as a part of my current turbo repair upgrade project.

 

Great, thanks for the order

 

Looking forward to installing them. Should receive them here in Houston on Friday! I better get busy cleaning the intake and exhaust ports.

 

I'm usually game for considering a solution I can make myself. At $59.95 the resonator delete is not cheap, but it's not expensive either. It's a piece that could be a home project. However, I decided to get rid of the noise maker and wanted a piece that was milled to install like the original. The WMW parts seemed quality enough to fit the bill. The noise maker delete at $89.95 is on the edge of being expensive, but considering a straight silicone tube solution runs over $100 it was still an acceptable number for me. Of course I wouldn't mind if both parts would have been at least $10 cheaper each, but I appreciate the appearance of quality. I can't say anything more until I use them, and I have no reason to believe they are not. Considering all the cleanup work I'm doing because of my turbo failure I didn't want to spend time looking and crafting both parts. I'm sure both could have been made but not without time and material cost. If you have nothing else to do on the MINI the DIY solution is perhaps fun. I'll get back to my cleaning. Got some work to do on Hilla.

 

I think you will like the WMW pieces. I helped a friend install them into his R56, and they dropped right in. Quality pieces for sure.

 

I'm sure they'll be just fine.

 

These beauties will replace the noise maker and resonator.

 

In! There's space there that wasn't free before. Also look at the free space where the noise maker was.
