From the R56 I drove in before and after I would say 10whp is about right and 5 to 10whp from and intake.

I thought 30hp gain was from all the mods Alta has available...including FMIC.
10 from downpipe, 10 from catback, and 10 from fmic..... no?

Correct, almost. 30hp was also including the replacement turbo inlet pipe and boost tubes.

So intake, turboback exhaust, Freakin' Moron In Cambodia, boost tubes, and turbo inlet pipe = 30 horses.

I thought FMIC was Flatulent Monkeys In Cages. I think I was way off.

Faster Motoring In a Can? It would be great to test drive a MINI with all the mods - can't imagine what another 30whp would feel like. But then, I'd be looking for ways to come up with the cash to add them to my own MINI.

FMIC

After my Skip Barber coaching this past weekend, it stands for "Freakin Maniac In Car"
