For anybody who is considering this. A full straight pipe with a cat less down pipe sounds really good and these engines just have a deeper sound then a normal 4 cylinder. It is incredibly loud and the cold starts are absolutely insane in the winter. What I did was weld a flange to the stock muffler and also had a straight pipe section made so if needed or wanted to have it a little quiet for a road trip I could easily and quickly bolt the muffler back on. With the muffler bolt on the car is still loud and sounds really good under load but quieter while cruising. For most that would be perfect.
This may sound dumb and a lot of people don't know this. But the timing of the valves is controlled by oil pressure with all the vanos shit. I never knew that And cold oil makes sense now the stories of cold start sound
@@MatthewGill-nv4tb yeah when the vanos solenoids get dirty they effect cold starts and general running nod the car. They are easy to clean and or replace.
Just straight piped my 2011 mini r56 and it sounds incredible you would never expect that sound to come out of a mini it pops and bangs in sport mode Everytime you shift or let off the gas went from the stock 2.25 to 2.5 pipe with 3.5 outlet tips best mod for the money only cost me a grand total of about 160 bucks
It's loud dude. Highly recommend a downpipe and resonator along with the straight pipe to get a balanced sound. Or a hybrid loud valve setup or something.
I've got the same monster. Really need to do this. Is there a video of rolling her out on the road a bit? I like the rhaspy sound too! Thanks! Liked, and subscribed!
Hmmm I didn't see any cartoony flames in the video.... Clickbait! 😂😂❤❤ Hoping the channel gets some resurgence though. I remember when the algorithm nearly killed PMM... Hope everythings been well still!
I have same r56 with n14 and its roughly 200hp and its with catless downpipe and straight pipe to the muffler and sounds good but i want it to be a bit louder and wondering if remove the muffler and put 2 resonators what will happen Is gonna be good or its gonna be too much?
There fairly cheap to get! You can get an R56 like this or an R55(clubman) anywhere from 5-10K USD. I have a 2011 clubman straight piped, I kept my resonator though
it wasn't horrible but overall it was just too loud. But now that it has a Vibrant brand Ultra quiet series resonator, I almost want the straight pipe back... thinking a catless downpipe will do the trick.
@@xx_kisalove_xx - Pause @ 5:29 where his finger is and further up, you will see the Cat. The Cat is in front of the Engine and you can't see it in the video.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I strongly disagree that it sounds like a Honda Civic. It might not be everyone's taste, but it's certainly does not sound like a Honda
That has to be the easiest car in the world to straight pipe. So jealous
Id like the comment, but it has 69 likes, use my comment to like his so it stays nice
They really are

Great now I have to convince my dad to let me do this to my car
Just do it that's what i did
@@colsonshreve4976 huge
yeah screw convincing. it’s your car ain’t it?
Now I have to convince my dad to let me do this to his mini 🤣
pro tip say the cat fell off and its much cheaper to go straight than buy another cat 😂😂😂

hell yeahhhh
did you remve the muffler, res, and cat ? if so how is the drone on the freeway ?
The 2011 has "pops and gurgles" tuned by the factory in Sport mode
@@atlanticlondon1471 In this video we removed everything except the cat in the downpipe and replaced with a unrestricted exhaust pipe
I find it crazy how I come across this video. I am looking to straight pipe my mini, happen to see your sweatshirt and I am going Stevenson this fall.
Played football there and graduated in 2014/2015. Did their BS/MS in the information systems track. Been a good career thus far.

Brad Wilson thanks for the tips I will certainly look into that!
it´s the maximum sound you can get out of a mini cooper!
A resonator will really clean it up but I think it does sound great 👍
@s n He is saying to add a resonator. The stock res was already removed when they pulled off the old exhaust
Never heard a nicer sounding mini lol 😆😆🤘😎🤘
Thanks!
I did a 2.5" catless downpipe, then 2.5" piping catback with an SLP resonator and a Flowmaster FX glasspack on it, still too loud lol.
you need the vibrant ultra quiet resonator to start, then add (or dont) any muffler
These and Fiat 500's sound surprisingly awesome. Very similar to SRT4's.
Patrick Krenz I was going to say the same thing in reference to the srt4
I've got the same monster. Really need to do this. Is there a video of rolling her out on the road a bit? I like the rhaspy sound too! Thanks! Liked, and subscribed!
How about telling people to unhook the battery before welding on their car to keep from frying the ecu, or body control module.
I have a 118i and I am definitely going to do this fuck it all
No Freddie... no thumbs up. Wait, Phoenix... ok, you got the thumbs up back!
2.5" pipe is huge... Spit is good lube

Thank youu
U Need to heatwrap the pipe. To stop the echo in the straightpipe
I might do a muffler delete on mine. Im really debating it
Great video. exhaust sounds pretty good
Sounds like when you add a catless downpipe to a turbo car, minus the spool.
In for the hug party. lol
How could you not include the 2 step from the wotbox I was anticipating that so bad
Sounds great bud
Thanks!
mine is full stage 2 with resonator. about to do a res delete and send pipes out that back
All the nags gonna know when you are home! If you owe them money, you are in trouble! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
that sounds great.
All the nags gonna know when you are home! If you owe them money, you are in trouble! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@JodBronson LOL!
So that first part is actually a cat? Even though it won’t throw a code, is it technically legal to pass inspection without it?
Did you guys get stutters when accelerating? I did with mine and I had a magnaflow muffler.
how much does it cost to get the replacement straight pipe the same size as the stock?
I have same r56 with n14 and its roughly 200hp and its with catless downpipe and straight pipe to the muffler and sounds good but i want it to be a bit louder and wondering if remove the muffler and put 2 resonators what will happen
Is gonna be good or its gonna be too much?
I don’t understand any of these comments or any of this but i want my mini to sound like this so bad 😭
Who else just wants this as their first car
There fairly cheap to get! You can get an R56 like this or an R55(clubman) anywhere from 5-10K USD. I have a 2011 clubman straight piped, I kept my resonator though
I'd rather get a 94-04 mustang gt which are also cheap. But I'm past my first car that would be my second
Id pop a cherry bomb flow through style muffler down the middle & call it a daily
Where to buy the mudguards? Thanks!
almost sounds like a straight piped hyundai veloster
Hey great sounding mini, hows the drone? bearable ?
it wasn't horrible but overall it was just too loud. But now that it has a Vibrant brand Ultra quiet series resonator, I almost want the straight pipe back... thinking a catless downpipe will do the trick.
GREAT AWESOME !!! All the nags gonna know when you are home! If you owe them money, you are in trouble! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Uhhh right...
@@PoorManMods - 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
Where did you get that pipe from ? I want the same exact one
Are you sure? All the nags gonna know when you are home! If you owe them money, you are in trouble! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@JodBronson yes I’m positive lol so where 😂😂
@@xavieredmonds6575 - Not sure, but he explain what you need at 3:32
How do I get this straight pipe? Your Amazon link was not working
heres a section of 2.5" 4ft stainless pipe amzn.to/3m5ZkLp
and heres some exhaust tips amzn.to/3lSjQ1S
Where did you get the exhaust tip from?
The queen would be disappointed.
Fuck the queen, that's why we stomped her ass in 1776
Can this thing pass the smog?
They didn't take the Cat out, I don't see why not?
@@JodBronson actually there’s a smaller cat down there
@@xx_kisalove_xx - There is? I only have 1 on mine. The one that is close to the Engine.
@@xx_kisalove_xx - That is a resonator.
@@xx_kisalove_xx - Pause @ 5:29 where his finger is and further up, you will see the Cat. The Cat is in front of the Engine and you can't see it in the video.
What exhaust tips are those?
Not sure, got them from a local exhaust
Does it drone badly?! 😬
YES LOL
Are you on a stock down pipe?
In this video yes
Will it pass inspection though?
Not without cats
If you know a guy it sure will
how long did this take in total to install?
An hour
where did u get those black side scuttles?
Side scuttles?
@@PoorManMods where the turn signal is just behind the hood
how many dB does it make after the mod ?
All the nags gonna know when you are home! If you owe them money, you are in trouble! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Two easily done poor man mods for turbo Mini's are the turbo muffler delete and the noise maker delete
Sounds like a honda civic with fartcan exhaust
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I strongly disagree that it sounds like a Honda Civic. It might not be everyone's taste, but it's certainly does not sound like a Honda
didnt think it was legal to remove the catalytic converter
Speeding is illegal too
@@PoorManMods ah yes the ol' "this thing is illegal too so what i'm doing is totally okay" excuse
The JCW came without a secondary cat anyway, so just say its a JCW conversion ;)
What's a "Bruce Jenner" jack? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering same thing... Probably some part of it fell off
Tranny jack....
What year is it ?
2010
I got the same exhaust setup on my r56. If I put a cat less down pipe will it be too loud ?
Itll sound absolutely gnarly but yes it'll be extremely loud. We recommend the vibrant UCR amzn.to/3Wbi8IE
Inagin this with a twin turbo kit and slice....LoL
With time it will lower
Looks like this wouldn’t pass California smogs
good
you straight piped it then only showed us 2000rpm lol
My minis flex pipe broke and it sounds like a v8 😂
😂😂😂
@@PoorManMods Would you mind making a video on them breaking? I wanna hear other peoples flex pipe broken😂
Poor brad
let me guess, cuz its not carbd v8? lol
The Bruce Jenner jack
🙃
That is not a tranny jack..still made me laugh tho
🤣🤣
Sounds like it’s blowing
noppe
Lol
Doing a cat delete in 2020 😔
You're on a the wrong channel if you're looking for green mods
Sounds like a fiat abarth
Doesn’t sound good imo. I won’t be doing this to mine. Thanks for the video boys
thanks! we added a resonator and it sounds muchh better amzn.to/3a1c0z2
All noise no power
Its quicker than you think
