I just went catless with the stock exhaust with the 2nd cat deleted as well, and I have yet to experience any drone up to 80 mph, I have a clubman s and it is supper raspy

This is a mean build. Idk if it’s still around. But that’s one bad ass build

They make intakes specifically for the n14 as well as the n18 I believe

To add to this, my filter keeps slipping off wondering if I’m fitting it right N18

No issues other than it was a pain to install mostly because it's meant to fit an older style N18 motor that has a slightly different plastic top cover shape. I can't remember how I got it on there but it required a little bit of finesse to line up the bolts.

Paul Helden I’m also looking to know how he did that. Longer screws maybe?

@@jaredpeters950 I just fix it like that, longer bolts

I honestly don't remember, it's been a while and the mini has since moved on. I recall that it took a slightly longer bolt but aligning it was a bit of a pain but once it threaded I never wanted to touch it again lol

No noticeable difference tbh

Runs like a top. In fact it's recently gone tripped 2000 miles round-trip twice (so 4k) in 2 months without any issues. It's been about 25k miles since these upgrades and I've had zero issues.

Last I checked mod list was in the description :D

Manic tune removed CIL for intake and downpipe related codes. If there's a CIL in the vid (don't recall there being one) it wasn't related to the tune or mods, I think it was maintenance or TPMS sensor related.

There really isn't any plastic underneath. Underneath is the turbo itself and the original heat shield for the catalytic converter (now just straight downpipe). The only plastic thing touching it is part of that engine cover and it's fine.

It's the OEM NAV package.

I ended up wrapping the intake on the hood with heat reflective tape and between the shield and the tape it seems fine. When the car is moving the air is consumed pretty quickly so the heat soak is minimal. Compared to an intake that pulls air only from around it in the engine bay I would say it's still better. I won't say it's night and say better but definitely better especially during cooler weather months like right now. I would say a turbo blanket may be just as fine as a heat shield but I never looked into it myself.

@@suchtragedy Thanks for your input.

This car is a daily and goes through heavy city, stop and go traffic with plenty of hills. My lady would rather preserve her ankle and I'd rather not be replacing clutches :D

With the AEM hear shield along with wrapping the intake on the hood with heat reflective tape (added later) it seems to be decently effective at keeping air cool. At speed it's consuming air faster than the heat from the turbo can heat it as it passes through the intake.

@@suchtragedy Have you actually tested the air temp past the intercooler?

That's the OEM navigation head unit

Agreed, got Wilwoods on all 4s now. I should get coilovers sooner or later but since it's my lady's car it tends to get love after I work on my other stuff.

These minis really do handle so damn well. I want a little more power but increasing grip and maneuverability is what I really want.

Mo POWAH BABEEE

Never got it on a dyno, but Manic advertises 30 to 50hp over stock depending on mods for their stage 2 flash. You provide a list of mods (more specific if you can) and they flash based on that.

@@suchtragedy Hey, any contact for Manic?

@@quest4019 It appears the company was dissolved last year. find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08182550

Added later. Also had to plug PCV on back side of the head to make the catch can effective.

Jerald Haddox Quick Jack is the 2nd best garage purchase after my 72 inch harbor freight tool box. It's a major difference maker when it comes to working on things and well worth the money. The light is an underhood light that is extendable and latches to the hood and is cordless with internal lithium batteries. There are various ones all over but the one I got is made by ATD Tools model 80355. The way its made also makes it easy to set up under the car as well.

Mike W. Awesome thanks for the reply! I need to pick up a quick jack, Ramps aren’t doing it anymore so I’m gonna have to pick that up. I’m hope it jacks it up higher than the ramps do.

Mike W. Do the quick jack give you plenty of room to work underneath? I’m not a small guy 6’3” and I’m trying to end up doing most of the maintenance on my Mini

Jerald Haddox absolutely. Lifts around 2 feet off the ground. I'm a big guy too and I can still get underneath easily and actually still move my arms around easily and have things more than 6 inches from my face using a creeper as well. None of my jacks or ramps can raise the car as high as this lift jack can.

Carlos Juarez car pops in sport mode with the mods listed on manic stage 2 tune

Mike W. Ok u did the tune! Cool cool

Jeff Colby found a boost leak.

@@suchtragedy Where IT was this boost leak?

@@costelariton9864 I have a Forge after market blow off and it was leaking there. Added an O ring and fixed.

@@suchtragedy those come with o-rings. Did you just get a new o-ring? Still have the car? How is it running?

ryontherocks I actually don't remember. I know it was a bitch and I think I had to get creative with some stuff from my junk nuts and bolts bin. Issue with it sitting flush all the way down with the stock cover in place. When I remember I'll try to take it apart to look and see if I can jog my memory.

Mike W. Thanks. I still haven't got it yet.

GamerBros 645 nope, still going strong. I will note that I opted for the SPS switch when I bought the tune and have it at the 50% threshold. The stage 2 tune at full boost seemed a bit excessive for the stock turbo.

What a docheee

I love driving the 6 speed Manuel when I'm driving my daily it's so 😴 boring

Gilbert Rausa hmm can't find it either. But here's the kit I got from another site, same price point: www.maperformance.com/products/cnt-racing-catback-exhaust-system-mini-cooper-r56-s-07-09-cb-07mini?variant=5339168515&gclid=Cj0KCQiAs9zSBRC5ARIsAFMtUXGyLemMT-wXWpSj-1GE-1EaorW9CBmFhV4FAwsg_NIBQpUrfpILP54aAmLHEALw_wcB

suchtragedy oh yes! Thanks man appreciate it.

David Audet middle speedo is stock, not sure what what you're seeing as different?

It is the factory SAT NAV

@@suchtragedy i think he mistook it for the 1st gen

No issues at all with rain. Never driven it in snow, I garage it in winter.

It's called a boost pipe, basically what I bought: www.ebay.com/itm/For-Mini-Cooper-S-1-6T-R56-R60-JCW-Boost-Pipe-Air-Charge-Pipe-Kit-SG71349-/401158119939?hash=item5d66e32203

Thanks for your reply. Just another question if I may; I'm thinking of getting the CNT exhaust, did you get a resonated downpipe or just the pipe. How is the noise on the highway, any drone?

Also, did you get pops and bangs from Manic?

The CNT kit has a resonator but it's still pretty loud. There's no drone except a little while in Sport mode at cruising speed only. I did not get BBQ mode from Manic but surprisingly it still has pops and bangs in sport mode when you come off throttle so it works out perfectly :)
