Post subject: | R53MCS, Change exhaust or Intake. |
I am wondering which would be the best mod to do first, Change the exhaust or change the air intake. My 06 cooper S has an Alta 15% reduced pulley and the "one ball" exhaust mod. I am looking at getting the Alta air intake box kit or the Alta cat back exhaust. So which would give me more power for the money spent? |

Id probably do air intake first. The alta ones are pretty good, I did before and after dyno runs with the GTT one and lost power with that installed so wouldn't recommend it. Had I known the difference the alta rear sway bar made it would of been one of the first mods I did, made a huge difference to the handling. |

Do you have the 19 or 22mm sway bar? I never thought about a sway bar on a new mini and its a fairly cheap mod. |

Just went with the 19mm, well worth the money. |

It's a 5 week wait from car mods australia to order the 19mm bar so ill wait as its about $100 cheaper. Are you still running the GTT cai? and roughly how much power did you use? In the meantime its the Alta cai for now. |

Thought provoking thread. Have you done any more mods? How's the car running with the mods? |
