Cold Side Charge Pipe
Hey guys! I got my R58 mini about a year ago but haven't looked into doing any mods until now.
It seems like going with an intercooler is the first thing to do, but I also wanted to upgrade the charge pipes with it.
I was going to buy this along with the intercooler:
http://www.nm-eng.com/288/0/0/2444/n...ipe.html#popUp[products]/2/
To my knowledge this is completely stock. I have only added three things which are: cut off the muffler after the first cat and put a straight pipe, changed the intercooler pipe with the muffler in it, and got a bigger air scoop.
Yet when I went to go check out my mini, it seems as there is no sound generator to be found. Is there some place that I'm missing at looking for it, or is it actually not there? Thanks for the help!

That is correct you don't have a noise maker so you don't need the NM Air Charge pipe.
But you can do our WMW Res Delete pipe on the hot side of the intercooler as it is a cost effective and perfect fit option.
