I have a 2011 Mini Cooper S. I bought an invidia q300 exhaust and I’m wanting to add a catless downpipe mainly for sound. I want it louder, but don’t want it to sound like a bumble bee, but also don’t want my engine light on. My question is, what is the easiest and cheapest way to bypass the thrown codes after installing the catless dp?

 

Not the cheapest but probably best with a remap. I've read that you can also use spacers but never tried it.

 

how do you go about remapping?

 

that’s what i have with a tune from RPM and it sounds good IMO

 

I have the Manic tune that comes with 3 maps and you can change it back to stock whenever. My CEL never turns on

 

I’m very tune ignorant. Do I need to take my car to a tune shop or is it just a chip you install that you can change the maps on?

 

This is how i did my RPM tune

 

thank you this is a huge help. What tune did you get and do you mind if I ask what you paid?

 

Any of the above if you're in USA/CANADA.

 

If you can't afford a full tune there is also the CANTool to remove the check engine light.

 

My tune is a stage 3 RPM tune from Mario Palza, i don’t remember the price since i got the turbo, downpipe, spark plugs and the hardware you see me using in the video at the same time as the tune.

 

Vibrant spacer works good for the turbo Volkswagens. Use the middle size orifice, has worked for me.

 

my 2008 r56 also throwing code for few months , recently have my RPM 2nd St tuned by Mario Palza, and no more cel light.
Contact Mario Palza, dude is super awesome!
