Buying a 2012 Mini Cooper S Coupe

I am buying from a friend. The car has 18k miles!

I am a long-time performance enthusiast, as well as a decent welder-fabricator, so I will be tinkering with this car eventually.

I have seen a number of solid looking performance products on the market for these cars, such as intercooler upgrades, the intake baffle delete hose, exhaust systems, cams, etc.

One item missing is a quality downpipe. I have seen only one downpipe, and I don't care for the look of it.

Anyway, I am looking forward to having this car in my possession and driving it on my 100 mile round trip commute.

Great and congrats, Fellow JCW Coupe owner here.

Did you see the Milltek downpipe ?


Post up some pics.

I did. I was not impressed with the workmanship from what I see in the pictures. Stainless steel seldom gets treated right.
