Hi all!

I just recently got back from a 4,000 mile road trip in my 2012 CMS ALL4 to southern Florida and back up to Connecticut.

While in Miami, Performance Auto Works re-flashed the ECU, and after a Dyno test, the numbers were great! Around 207 hp and 250 lb/ft of torque... With no other mods!

A few days later in Orlando, MINI of Orlando put on the exhaust system... That consists of:

1) Akrapovic Downpipe: We did not get any check engine codes because of spacing out the bottom O2 sensor with an 18mm spark plug spacer (Still no light after almost 2,000 miles of driving)

2) JCW Midpipe, along with cutting out the silencer (Makes it a straight pipe to the back box)

3) Unmodified JCW backbox.

I'll post some photos of the install if you all would like.... For now here is the video on how it sounds:

That sounds great!!! [Insert drool smiley here]

 

What were the "before the tune and exhaust" dyno numbers?

 

Didn't do a Dyno before the tune because PAW didn't have an AWD Dyno...

On the drive down, what were your MGP's vs. the drive back home?

 

They was about a 1-2 mpg improvement... We got around 26 going down and about 28 on the way back... And on the way back i drove the blue ridge mountains pretty hard.

WOW. That is awesome. Sounds just so mean!

 

that sound is too good, congrats. I wish i could do mine sooner, have to wait till june.

 

Sounds soo good!

 

What is PAW charging for the ECU Flash?

 

No idea... I'll let you know when I find out

Kyle

 

Do you have contact info for them? Not seeing anything through Google...can the ecu be mailed to them or will I need to bring my Countryman down to Miami? Cheers!

 

im going to have mine done at Eurowise http://euro-wise.com/

this is what i was told on the pricing. "We can tune your Mini for $849 + $200 to pull out your ecu and ship it to get flashed with software. Takes about 3 to 4 days"

 

kconner5, Wow...... One of the better sounding exhausts so far
Did the shop who did the install supply the parts or did you purchase everything in advance? Approximate costs? Also how's it sounding from cockpit?
In Ct as well... Nice way to enjoy some ME time with your new Mini
Know of any shops in our area that could duplicate that install ?
Again, nice job

 

Wow, that sounds great!

Nice Results! What kind of dyno was this on?

 

Nice! I've been eyeing Akrapovic exhaust and dp. How much was the dp? Where did you purchase it from?

 

Man that is what i want my all4s to sound like so bad a$$. Where did you get all the parts from like what kind of exhaust, downpipe, thanks for the vid and stuff.

 

All the parts are listed in the first post. Check out Way Motor Works for the parts, and also go to www.countrymanmotoring.com and check out the second post which is Titled "Road trip + Mods"

If you haven't checked out the blog it's run by myself and Aaron and I'd love to hear everyone's feedback!

 

Yeah i just found some on way motor works, just haven't found the exhaust but def want to get all these fun parts. No just need to find a bag of $ somewhere

 

just checked out your blog it's pretty sweet man, and i cant stop watching your vid clip and drooling over it hahaha and going to sign up on ur blog soon, thanks Matt

 

Thanks! Subscribe to the YouTube channel because I will upload more videos on the car... I believe there are 3 now on the Countryman.

Just drove up to Vermont from connecticut as I do every weekend but this weekend MINI is sponsoring the Burton US open at my home mountain Stratton! Saw quite a few MINIs up here
