Thanks! Are there any dealers that have good relations with the forums or reputation? In the subaru world, most enthusiasts would recommended Ramsey as they are active on the forums and knowledgeable. Hopefully something exists for the mini's too (princeton mini?)

Anyone running a catless DP in NY? If so are you guys switching back to catted for emissions? Im looking to get the Manic stage II or go to tyrol but have concerns about passing emissions in November. I currently have a visual constant CEL for the DP. If someone wants to PM about what they are doing feel free.

I'm running a flow thru catted DP thru my Alta turbo back exhaust and no lights or emissions problems. I'm also running stage 3 on my accessport. I just had a performance clutch & flywheel installed and I'm going thru my break in period which is 1000 miles. PIA but must be done. You should be able to clear the light. But I think it's going to keep coming back.

I have the R60s (N18 engine). Everywhere I look about the Hi-Flow Catted or Catless DP it says that you will need a tune to run them and to suppress the idiot light (CEL), also the N18 engine will not pass emissions with the any of the higher flow aftermarket DP's. If they are wrong please lmk. I've been eyeing the Miltek Hi-Flow chatted DP

Currently located in Brooklyn. Don't own a mini (yet) but been on the hunt for a clean automatic R53 as a daily driver/wife's car. We currently own a 2017 WRX (that often gets mistaken for a STI because of the added wing/brembos) but wanted something automatic as well.
Looking forward to attending a tri-state meet to learn more about these cars, but in the interim, are there any good classified pages or facebook pages to hunt for a clean mini? I've looked at a ton on craigslist, but no luck so far. Thanks in advance!

I frequent NASIOC as well for my other vehicle (2017 Subaru WRX).
In the past, spent a good amount of time on www.infinitifx.org, www.infinitiscene.com, www.clublexus.com and ih8mud. Possibly we've run into each other before?
oh and theres also a font called 'pmingliu' that might be a little close to my handle :-D

Too Bad I missed this. It looked like a lot of fun from the videos I saw with the other NYMinions. Nice pic!
