New member, looking for tips on mods!

Hey everyone, in advance thanks to all who comment or add tips/help/advice, much appreciated!!

I own a 2012 Mini cooper S, im looking into modding it, but dont know where to start! also best place for parts? Suggeestions on where to start modding would be awesome, thinking, intake and exhaust? i would like to take the cold air intake from the grill and move it to the hood scoop, shorter distance, any advice on best way to achieve this and best parts to order?? Second (i dont care about sound) what are peoples best suggestions for exhausts? im looking for most performance, i dont care about looks or sound. Third, is there anything like a Hondata for a mini????

First time on the site, hope to hear from everyone!! let me know if there are better threads to post these questions in to

Thanks again!
Conrad

You trying to say folks should spend some effort and search a bit and not ask it be handed to them?

I have been searching for weeks for places that will custom design the winged emblems on my R59. I want to put a black widow emblem on it, but I can't find where to get them made.

Maybe you should START A NEW THREAD....
with an appropriate title....
rather than trying a thread jack that has nothing to do with the question.

Actually, I have tried to create a new thread, but apparently, I can't from my phone. I have posted to a few threads to try to get an answer, and getting responses like yours seems pretty rude.

I figured posting to a few threads would help.

If you have an iPhone, go to the forum you want to post in and then hit the boxed arrow I'm upper right corner of the phone. It will open a drop down that says new thread. Hope this helps!

Sorry you took it that way, but thread-jacking is pretty darn rude...
The Poor OP cannot really return to this one with updates and questions...it is sidetracked.
And future folks with YOUR EXACT QUESTION Will NEVER be able to find an answer with a simple search....
Thread jacking BREAKS the system....and fragments its....and scatters USEFUL info in random, unconnected threads...with NOTHING to do with the title!
Remember, a thread is like a public conversation....similar rules kinda apply.
