R56 Mini Cooper S - Noise Maker Delete (improve your throttle response)

We wanted to see how the sound changed! Before/after change.

[@ozzyprod9332]

Sadly none of the damn vids on this parts have that.

[@n3er0o]

@@ozzyprod9332because it does absolutely nothing to it. There's no measurable difference in sound or performance and anybody that claims there is is coping hard. Don't waste your time.

My noisemaker is gone. I feel like I'm driving an adult car now. Genuine engine sounds and a little bump in response. Love the extra room in the bay as well. Thanks!

[@Daniel-qr2cy]

Hey Bimmerdude, just got my R56 and loved this mod. Did it to mine straight away and I can tell there's a slight difference for the better of course. Keep the vids coming.

[@mykegaudio919]

You can use hairspray on the pipe areas you scuffed up for better hold.

[@18t4motion]

Have a similar noise pipe on my mk5 GTI and also removal. One option was removing the noise pipe section and using an expansion plug to seal off the throttle body pipe. Worked perfect.. should be able to do the same here

[@quietwolffallout9739]

Increase throttle responce and reduce weight in the front slightly. Shed ounces leads to pounds and shave seconds

[@JakeWest-1]

Would it be possible to to remove the big black pipe, cut the small hose inlet off for the "noise maker" and plug that hole with a piece of plastic and plastic weld? that way you dont have to cut the pipe, but you delete the thing you want to? Just an idea from watching this. Or, you can add a piece of rubber hose around the big black pipe, and clamp it down around the inlet hole you would cut off. That would seal the hole that is there and no more noise maker.

[@costi08]

My man cutting with the grinding disk :D

[@christomapher]

Have you noticed a difference in the cabin with engine noise level? Before and after?

[@asiancop]

Bimmer Dude, I just got onto your videos. I recently got a 2009 Cooper S and am trying some budget tweaks. Loving your videos so far. I wish we could have had a before and after sound comparison of your MINI starting up and revving though so we could hear the difference. I am catching up on all your vids, but what year is your MINI?

[@esdriver00]

I just bought a 09 S as well. Putting in a new OEM clutch, and thinking about changing the timing belt before it gives any problems like they say it would. Mine has 68K on it.

[@Deathsdezire]

What is the benefit of this? Obviously, quieter inside the cabin, but does it do anything to the sound outside the cabin? Does it add any type of performance?

[@jtocguy]

Thank you, I will be doing this to my 2012 jcw mini cooper. Although, why no start up?

[@jetsmini]

How much boost you make? I did the diy between the turbo and intercooler and made it have a little bump so it stays on. Looks like this would work and I’ll add my little bumps to keep my hoses from coming off at 23 psi 😂

[@Rick-tm3vs]

Jets Mini how

[@coreygodfroy9925]

I noticed you used the end of the pipe where it expands, is the any reasoning behind that. Also was that a 2" or 2 1/4" pipe?

[@magnaflowcatalyticco]

Having mine deleted, it failed visual inspection in CA at the smog shop. Now I need to find the old parts.

[@jb678901]

Only in CA.

[@icebreaka1969]

I don’t like the noise maker too, but I connect his ssqv to the noise maker connection instead of replace the pipe. Another way of making some good noise when I shift gear.

[@jingtolentino4122]

Instead of going through of cutting and grinding why not leave as is just disconnect the hose that goes to the cabin and just CAP-OFF where the tee is? Is that make sense? Is the Tee-pipe has any baffle? If it straight throuh just the tee just cap it off, home depot sell the rubber cap i think its about 1 1/4".

[@Rick-tm3vs]

Jing Tolentino can you check exactly the size lol

[@mr.m2556]

You could of cutoff the side pipe from the plastic part and added a straight pipe on the inside after the quick connect where the is and then make the connection.

[@paulhelden]

I checked my R56 from 2013 with the N18 engine and there is no noise maker there, thanks for the video

[@equaliser2265]

If you heat the knife blade it slices straight through the pipe..

[@level600a]

Why didn't you just pop off the hose that goes to the interior at the pipe you are working on and just cap the T off, plug maker hose cost about $4 and leave the noise maker hose, in case you go to sell it .

[@Blockie13]

exactly what I just thought too

[@delboy2596]

I wondered that also. Just a core plug plastic bung and some glue/tape.

[@johngagliardi1503]

Ditto

[@tridel2356]

Because the T piece is bad for airflow... Gas response is way better without that. And every gram that you remove from the Car is performance! Weight reduction brooo!!!

[@ModVlog]

i thought the same thing! just cork it and move on lol

[@davidhine2991]

I recommend putting a couple of small sheet metal screws thru the hose where you cut the factory coupling off. The elbow is really short and the hose clamp isn’t quite enough to hold it on the pipe under boost.

[@Earlysport]

This. The pipe with no rib and such short overlap with the hose will be a huge risk of blowing off under boost. Doing dodgy mods like this will only give you and the next owners something you have to fix correctly down the track. Would have been better blocking the smaller hose and keeping the plastic factory section, or get the right aluminium intercooler piping with beads on both ends.

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

I’m gonna do this this weekend!! Thanks bro.

[@hawkrider88]

Yes please, wanted to hear a before and after....guess it's too late for that now.

[@precool]

Thanks for the video of this project. I’m curious about the sound without the noise maker. Smoother or does anything stand out? Nice job on the paint. 😆 It will blend in like a chameleon. ✅

[@stevenlynch3793]

Have no idea how you got that bottom piece off. I underneath the noise maker. Mine is like cemented on there. No room for pick tool...

[@RainDropBlopper]

If deleting the noisemaker do you get error messanges? I want to delet it but i don't have a BMW/Mini scan tool

[@duanewhite3184]

Next time could you give us the measurements that you cut those pieces of pipe at

[@T.Lspitz]

Bimmer Dude have you noticed any negative results with capping off the idle side pcv hose? I assume you're running a catch can on the other side. Is there any benefits to capping off the idle side instead of leaving it as is or running a catch can on that side as well?

[@duanewhite3184]

What if you put a couple small drive screws through it to hold the hose and pipe together

[@spudvader]

Why didn't you put the clamp behind the bit you cut off instead? If you wish to revert back to stock then you could have. Also, did you actually take anything out of the car a part from the pipe intersection? What happens with the pipe that was attatched to the intersection, the bit that goes to the noise maker. Cheers

[@dclymer1]

sorry it this is a dumb question, but why can't i just cap off the line going to the noise maker?

[@TreyKing63]

Any change in HP? Has anyone measured this on the dyno?

[@Fahds87]

I see your left vent port on the valve cover is capped off. Has this caused any issues with ventilation? I had to reconnect mine again.

[@tiggaism]

Hey great videos man. Try to add some startups and revs or test drives at the end, I found myself wishing you started the car, Lol

[@craigyoung8692]

Hey dude. Did you remove the remaining pipework going into the bulk head and if so did you blank off the hole ? Love the mods dude. Done my oil catch can last week Much respect from Scotland 👍

[@Mikeconch]

I did this but unfortunately the pipe blew off and now i have a really bad loss of boost. im running 4 pnds at most. when i shift gears i lose boost completely. Very depressing

[@duanewhite3184]

Why can't you put a little flare on your muffler pipe for it to hold in tighter

[@BimmerDude]

That is an excellent idea!

[@ramonclan]

Man, what exactly is this piece you removed for? why does she enter into the panel? taking it out can damage something? I saw that you took another part from under the intercooler too! help this friend in Brazil please!

[@randymiller9460]

So I thought the purpose of the factory resonator was to reduce sound and by removing it the intake sound would increase, so then it actually the opposite?

[@bigkev10101]

Thanks for all your great videos.

[@duanewhite3184]

That's a good idea I can go to the muffler shop and get a scrap piece of pipe and put in between their

[@gavbrown6230]

Hi mate wot diameter pipe did U use please was it 2inch was thinking wot if u just covered up the extra hole on the Pearce u hav removed !!

[@alanslater4206]

did you not think of getting a larger pipe or maybe get the end flared so yiou could fit the oem hose end inside the bypass pipe?

[@trew3807]

I had the exact same thought. Any muffler shop would probably do it for free, or you can buy an expander at any auto parts store.

[@carlosjuarez9578]

[@rikkibobby3699]

Seems like a ton of work when you could have either capped the noise maker exit or plugged and sealed it...... I might plug and seal mine to save some coin! Love the videos though.

[@AnthonyJackson-jj8jn]

Why why didn’t you just cap the intake off?

[@MLAM168]

Great video man! Did you ever blank off the fire wall? If so what did you use?

[@Audio_Simon]

I filled the inlet on the bulkhead with some expanding builders foam. Surprisingly it didn't make much difference to noise in the cabin. At least now there is no hole for smelly engine vapors and road pollution to come in.

Dude I have been watching your videos, and really enjoy the crap out of them. I just picked up a 2009 mini cooper s clubman, really like the car, but I am getting a burning oil smell from it. I had a shop put dye in it and they said it was the valve cover I replaced that, still smells but it is less. I noticed that the previous owner welded the oil feed line to the turbo, most likely was leaking and they didn't want to replace it. not sure if you have a video on how to replace the oil line?? but I would like to see something on it, since there are not any on youtube now.

Hey I noticed that you're from Texas! I live in Katy TX. I just got a 2009 mini cooper s. I love it, but noticed it's been burning lots of oil. I've been having to check it everytime I put gas in it. Adding like half a quart every 2 weeks. Any tips?

[@anthonyrobinson387]

Small round file would clean up the cut metal inside of pipe cleanly..... but good job

[@saadalessa]

What is the benefit of the noise maker?

[@YarraMates]

Hey mate, so I just did the same mod using a 2'' intercooler pipe that I cut. After a few "spirited" driving sessions the hose blew off from one end of the pipe. The other end was bulged to keep the hose secure, but the end that I cut was smooth so the hose is only held by the clamp. did you have any issues with hose blowing off?

[@BimmerDude]

Oh man thats not good. I personally dont have any issues with hoses blowing off. If youll look back @ 9:25 youll see i scuffed up the pipping where the metal would meet the rubber. Also you could #1 create a bead of JB weld on the edge to give the rubber hose something to hang onto #2 old fashion trick is use hair spray on the edges of the pip to help it stick. Chances are have a fair amount of oil blow by passing through your intake track making thins slippery. Be sure to clean all surfaces before reinstalling. I may do a video soo on how to make sure your piping doesnt come off under load. GL!

[@malp6280]

just put some beading around the tube or get a purpose made pipe with beading already on.. this gives much les chance of the hose popping off underload

[@TEAMCREAM_96]

Use hair spray next time

[@antoniomiranda9494]

what's up bro these is rex from el paso TX I got an 08 MCs and they gave me as a present a hks bov now I see some vid where they put a adapter on the 90 degree elbow you cut....my questions are would it be save to install and get the noise maker out the way already.... what you think...love your videos man

Can you make a video on the air filtration system. I can smell my engine. I had a bad valve cover. I replaced it but I noticed that I can see my filter from the battery compartment. Is that normal?

[@quintinmagill4485]

Yeah it's normal to see the cabin filter. Kinda weird location but that's factory!

[@malp6280]

have you tried replacing the cabin filter? if your getting a burning/oil smell check your valve cover gasket, oil filler cap & make sure the turbo oil feed line isn't leaking oil as it could easily be oil dripping onto the exhaust 'burning' hence the smell.. in short check for oil leaks.. "welding an oil line onto the turbo.. wtf why would anyone do that......" you could also check underneath the car as apparently these cars suffer from power steering leaking from the high pressure line & the power steering pumps... not sure if later model mini's are effected as bad.. but it doesn't pay to check it out

Hey Dude, First of all, thank you for your videos. I did not remove the plastic section that you replaced by cutting a pipe, instead I inserted a smaller diameter pipe and plug the hole with a hole plug that I found from the auto parts store. (Same place where you buy those metal pipe). It seems ok, there was no error code using a universal scanner. Do you really need a bmw/mini scanner to adjust something once you delete and why? Thanks.

[@BimmerDude]

Hey friend, seems to me like you made it work just fine :) You don't NEED a mini scanner to reset the adaptions. But it highly recommended to have one just incase you have problem down the road. its nearly impossibly to pinpoint the actual issue with a universal one.

@@BimmerDude You are lucky because there is almost no play between engine and chassis at that point. A simple line with the MIG at the ends of the tube would suffice and would be a better design in the long run. Had to do the same on mine in the turbo to intercooler muffler.

That just defeats the purpose of removing the noise maker in the first place. Just capping that outlet will still leave a pocket that air will push into and cause turbulence (you don't want that) what you do want is a smooth path for the air to move through. Because of the turbulence created by "capping" your not making anything better and might as well leave it as is.
