But we can both agree MINI's are great. I traded in my STI tuned 330hp Subaru for a '08 MINI Cooper S and it was a smart decision. Not as fast (obviously) but more fun to drive and plenty quick for any reasonable human being.

@go kart I had it like this for a week. Now I have a custom resonator on there and it softened it up quite a bit. As compared to other exhausts it is definitely louder than any on the market. It backfires harder too. Also, the resonator is on a quick release system so if I want to swap in a test pipe or even a bigger muffler I can do so on the fly.

What I mean is, it's not supposed to sound like anti lag. Backfiring from a straight pipe is completely different than anti lag and most people that know cars can understand the difference. No one is pretending to have anti lag.

@MikeBaker___9 жыл бұрын
In stock form it has a slight tendency to understeer like most fwd vehicles, yet it is very balanced. With an addition of a larger rear sway bar any understeer is basically dialed out. The car now has a tendency to overseer when pushed beyond its limits. Of course your alignment has a lot to do with that as well.

Hey Mike, great Videos! Been following your thread since quite some time now and I really appreciate your content. Not sure if you are able to answer my question i got but i'll ask anyways. Is the exhaust setup you ran in this vid able to pass the German regulations? People here are very strict when it comes to modifying exhausts.. Or would you say a valvetronic exhaust would also do if i keep the stock res's in and take out the steel-wool inside them..? Absolutely admire your past as well as current mini man!
@MikeBaker___8 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the support! I am unfamiliar with German regulations, are they emissions based or do you have decibel restrictions as well? The set up in this video passes New York state emissions inspection due to having both stock cats installed. If your inspection is similar to the N.Y. standards then I wouldn't worry about it. my current catless exhaust takes some "magic" to pass but it is possible.
@PlayerXceL8 жыл бұрын
+Mike Baker Thank you for the quick response, Mike! Yes, in Germany we have emissions aus well aus decibel regulations. As far as I am aware of the maximum amount of decibel allowed for a non-oldtimer is 97 dB. But even for that you need a certificate from the producer telling the state ist is safe to be mounted on your vehicle.. Those are some bullshit laws ;( Now I know you had most of your work done by Filthy Habits, would you recommend them before any similar Mini tuners? Oh and you should bring that Mini of yours over here to the Nürburgring!!
