MINI2 - MINI Forum - View Single Post - Supersprint header + custom straight pipe installed

I was reading SMG's post before i went to my garage to work on it. Removing the header's bolts are WAY much easier than the headers I did on my m3. i cut the cat off and welded on a straight pipe (kept the stock O2 sensor hole) The installation wasnt that bad at all. Its always fun to cut and weld (not as much doing for friends , tho)
Test drive- I never never never expected the power gain could be so noticeable from the header. after i installed promini's 19% pulley, I lost top end. SS header smooths out the top end SO much more! it made my 19% pulley perfect!
i cant wait to get the superchip done this week!
