We wanted to see how the sound changed! Before/after change.
Sadly none of the damn vids on this parts have that.
@@ozzyprod9332because it does absolutely nothing to it. There's no measurable difference in sound or performance and anybody that claims there is is coping hard. Don't waste your time.
I've learned so much about this car thanks to you man, thank you! A true person of the people, a real youtuber
Hey Bimmerdude, just got my R56 and loved this mod. Did it to mine straight away and I can tell there's a slight difference for the better of course. Keep the vids coming.
My noisemaker is gone. I feel like I'm driving an adult car now. Genuine engine sounds and a little bump in response. Love the extra room in the bay as well. Thanks!
Thanks for all your great videos.
I’m gonna do this this weekend!! Thanks bro.
Subscribed! Great channel and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks and Thanks for subscribing!
Definitely Subing thx for a great video!
Have a similar noise pipe on my mk5 GTI and also removal. One option was removing the noise pipe section and using an expansion plug to seal off the throttle body pipe. Worked perfect.. should be able to do the same here
Subcribed!
You can use hairspray on the pipe areas you scuffed up for better hold.
I noticed you used the end of the pipe where it expands, is the any reasoning behind that. Also was that a 2" or 2 1/4" pipe?
If deleting the noisemaker do you get error messanges? I want to delet it but i don't have a BMW/Mini scan tool
Increase throttle responce and reduce weight in the front slightly. Shed ounces leads to pounds and shave seconds
Have you noticed a difference in the cabin with engine noise level? Before and after?
I’m definitely trying this
Bimmer Dude, I just got onto your videos. I recently got a 2009 Cooper S and am trying some budget tweaks. Loving your videos so far. I wish we could have had a before and after sound comparison of your MINI starting up and revving though so we could hear the difference. I am catching up on all your vids, but what year is your MINI?
I just bought a 09 S as well. Putting in a new OEM clutch, and thinking about changing the timing belt before it gives any problems like they say it would. Mine has 68K on it.
How are those intakes? I've been curious about using it with the hood scoop mod.
I see your left vent port on the valve cover is capped off. Has this caused any issues with ventilation? I had to reconnect mine again.
I recommend putting a couple of small sheet metal screws thru the hose where you cut the factory coupling off. The elbow is really short and the hose clamp isn’t quite enough to hold it on the pipe under boost.
This. The pipe with no rib and such short overlap with the hose will be a huge risk of blowing off under boost. Doing dodgy mods like this will only give you and the next owners something you have to fix correctly down the track. Would have been better blocking the smaller hose and keeping the plastic factory section, or get the right aluminium intercooler piping with beads on both ends.
Bimmer Dude have you noticed any negative results with capping off the idle side pcv hose? I assume you're running a catch can on the other side.
Is there any benefits to capping off the idle side instead of leaving it as is or running a catch can on that side as well?
Hi mate wot diameter pipe did U use please was it 2inch was thinking wot if u just covered up the extra hole on the Pearce u hav removed !!
Thank you, I will be doing this to my 2012 jcw mini cooper. Although, why no start up?
I don’t like the noise maker too, but I connect his ssqv to the noise maker connection instead of replace the pipe. Another way of making some good noise when I shift gear.
I checked my R56 from 2013 with the N18 engine and there is no noise maker there, thanks for the video
What if you put a couple small drive screws through it to hold the hose and pipe together
Did u remove the noise make from the engine mate or leave there unplugged
Any change in HP? Has anyone measured this on the dyno?
Ask and ye shall receive.....Thanks for the video
Is that the weird sound that gets louder with rpm that comes from the passenger side?
That's a good idea I can go to the muffler shop and get a scrap piece of pipe and put in between their
Hey ! Brother quick question how long or inches did you cut that peace of metal?
Having mine deleted, it failed visual inspection in CA at the smog shop. Now I need to find the old parts.
Have no idea how you got that bottom piece off. I underneath the noise maker. Mine is like cemented on there. No room for pick tool...
Thanks for the video of this project. I’m curious about the sound without the noise maker. Smoother or does anything stand out? Nice job on the paint. 😆 It will blend in like a chameleon. ✅
Dude I have been watching your videos, and really enjoy the crap out of them. I just picked up a 2009 mini cooper s clubman, really like the car, but I am getting a burning oil smell from it. I had a shop put dye in it and they said it was the valve cover I replaced that, still smells but it is less. I noticed that the previous owner welded the oil feed line to the turbo, most likely was leaking and they didn't want to replace it. not sure if you have a video on how to replace the oil line?? but I would like to see something on it, since there are not any on youtube now.
here is the video i used to do mine czcams.com/video/4FTUqQN-WtI/video.html
How much boost you make? I did the diy between the turbo and intercooler and made it have a little bump so it stays on. Looks like this would work and I’ll add my little bumps to keep my hoses from coming off at 23 psi 😂
Jets Mini how
How much cabin noise in % does this eliminate?
does the r60 with the n18 have this too?
Yes please, wanted to hear a before and after....guess it's too late for that now.
Can you make a video on the air filtration system. I can smell my engine. I had a bad valve cover. I replaced it but I noticed that I can see my filter from the battery compartment. Is that normal?
Yeah it's normal to see the cabin filter. Kinda weird location but that's factory!
have you tried replacing the cabin filter? if your getting a burning/oil smell check your valve cover gasket, oil filler cap & make sure the turbo oil feed line isn't leaking oil as it could easily be oil dripping onto the exhaust 'burning' hence the smell.. in short check for oil leaks.. "welding an oil line onto the turbo.. wtf why would anyone do that......"
you could also check underneath the car as apparently these cars suffer from power steering leaking from the high pressure line & the power steering pumps... not sure if later model mini's are effected as bad.. but it doesn't pay to check it out
You could of cutoff the side pipe from the plastic part and added a straight pipe on the inside after the quick connect where the is and then make the connection.
Great video man!
Did you ever blank off the fire wall? If so what did you use?
I filled the inlet on the bulkhead with some expanding builders foam. Surprisingly it didn't make much difference to noise in the cabin. At least now there is no hole for smelly engine vapors and road pollution to come in.
did you not think of getting a larger pipe or maybe get the end flared so yiou could fit the oem hose end inside the bypass pipe?
I had the exact same thought. Any muffler shop would probably do it for free, or you can buy an expander at any auto parts store.
Why didn't you put the clamp behind the bit you cut off instead? If you wish to revert back to stock then you could have. Also, did you actually take anything out of the car a part from the pipe intersection? What happens with the pipe that was attatched to the intersection, the bit that goes to the noise maker. Cheers
hi, what diameter is the tube? ø mm
So I thought the purpose of the factory resonator was to reduce sound and by removing it the intake sound would increase, so then it actually the opposite?
Hey mate, so I just did the same mod using a 2'' intercooler pipe that I cut. After a few "spirited" driving sessions the hose blew off from one end of the pipe. The other end was bulged to keep the hose secure, but the end that I cut was smooth so the hose is only held by the clamp. did you have any issues with hose blowing off?
Oh man thats not good. I personally dont have any issues with hoses blowing off. If youll look back @ 9:25 youll see i scuffed up the pipping where the metal would meet the rubber. Also you could #1 create a bead of JB weld on the edge to give the rubber hose something to hang onto #2 old fashion trick is use hair spray on the edges of the pip to help it stick. Chances are have a fair amount of oil blow by passing through your intake track making thins slippery. Be sure to clean all surfaces before reinstalling. I may do a video soo on how to make sure your piping doesnt come off under load. GL!
just put some beading around the tube or get a purpose made pipe with beading already on.. this gives much les chance of the hose popping off underload
Use hair spray next time
I did this but unfortunately the pipe blew off and now i have a really bad loss of boost. im running 4 pnds at most. when i shift gears i lose boost completely. Very depressing
Would it be possible to to remove the big black pipe, cut the small hose inlet off for the "noise maker" and plug that hole with a piece of plastic and plastic weld? that way you dont have to cut the pipe, but you delete the thing you want to? Just an idea from watching this. Or, you can add a piece of rubber hose around the big black pipe, and clamp it down around the inlet hole you would cut off. That would seal the hole that is there and no more noise maker.
Hey I noticed that you're from Texas! I live in Katy TX. I just got a 2009 mini cooper s. I love it, but noticed it's been burning lots of oil. I've been having to check it everytime I put gas in it. Adding like half a quart every 2 weeks. Any tips?
JPeezus ✔️️ yes sir that's right if your engine is consuming that much oil I would say it was about time for you to do I Walnut blasting on your valves they start to accumulate more and more sediment the worst they get
Bimmer Dude awesome i'll research that, thanks! I subbed (:
And put two oil catch cans to prevent it again.
Get rid of it
I know its an old video but what did you ever do with the hole left in the firewall?
Put a Cap on the 'Noisemaker Pipe' + Hole and you are done!
Hey great videos man. Try to add some startups and revs or test drives at the end, I found myself wishing you started the car, Lol
Hey dude. Did you remove the remaining pipework going into the bulk head and if so did you blank off the hole ?
Love the mods dude. Done my oil catch can last week
Much respect from Scotland 👍
Small round file would clean up the cut metal inside of pipe cleanly..... but good job
Good evening I have made all the mods you have done to your mini I just did the noise delete on my R56 2008 mini cooper s turbo and once installed and put everything back together it staring throwing codes like crazy (p0300,p0304,p0302,p0301,p1497,p0303) plz help thanks
had check if there was a selenoid ont the noise make and bypass it otherwise you didnt plug back everything right
If you heat the knife blade it slices straight through the pipe..
I thought about that but I wanted to keep the flow as as smooth as possible. And honestly ... no one's gonna buy it used. Lol but the thought did cross my mind.
does it trigger any code?
What is the benefit of the noise maker?
what's up bro these is rex from el paso TX I got an 08 MCs and they gave me as a present a hks bov now I see some vid where they put a adapter on the 90 degree elbow you cut....my questions are would it be save to install and get the noise maker out the way already.... what you think...love your videos man
Hey man Thanks for watching the videos and your support! I really don't see why a set up like you describing wouldn't work honestly. any pictures of the configuration your thinking of going with?
not really bit there's some videos with r56 hks bov and well I see that as the only way
Whats it sounds like!?
Next time could you give us the measurements that you cut those pieces of pipe at
This is awesome, now can you come over to my house and do the same on my R57. :)
Seems like a ton of work when you could have either capped the noise maker exit or plugged and sealed it...... I might plug and seal mine to save some coin! Love the videos though.
Instead of going through of cutting and grinding why not leave as is just disconnect the hose that goes to the cabin and just CAP-OFF where the tee is? Is that make sense?
Is the Tee-pipe has any baffle? If it straight throuh just the tee just cap it off, home depot sell the rubber cap i think its about 1 1/4".
Jing Tolentino can you check exactly the size lol
Can one just simply plug the 'Noisemaker Pipe' internally ?
Put a Cap on the 'Noisemaker Pipe' and you are done!
Hello, I own R56 in Korea. How many inches (mm) does the pipe have?
Chang Hyun Kim wow Korea that's awesome didn't realize my videos we're being looked at there if I remember correctly it was just above 11 in I'd say 283mm or so. Thanks for watch !
Answers Thanks, my question is, do you want to cut the pipe length to 283mm?
Chang Hyun Kim yes sir
Man, what exactly is this piece you removed for? why does she enter into the panel? taking it out can damage something? I saw that you took another part from under the intercooler too! help this friend in Brazil please!
Should had painted the pipe before installing :)
No need for a screwdriver for the hose clamps, the heads are also a nut (6mm on my Toyota, might be same on Mini)
Did you actually lose any of the sporty sound?
Was there any noticeable throttle response?
Thanks B. Dude loving the channel.
actually yes it is decently not as obnoxiously loud when spooling since i have the Alta intake. you can still hear it though but now its just coming from outside of the car like a normal car. Yes I did notice change in throttle response after doing this. be sure to rest you dme adaptions though as the air flow will be slightly altered by the increase in diameter.
Bimmer Dude by unplugging the battery? From Pasadena TX man
Im not exactly sure ive never done it this way i actually have a bmw/mini code reader so it was a simple as a few clicks. Nice! man we're neighbors practically. get any flooding out there?
Bimmer Dude OK yeah I'm going to order a scan tool myself and yes man we did but gratefully not in my house or cars. I've been dealing with a maf code. I replaced it but still have the code popping up. I tried to reset it with a generic scanner but it would popped back up. Thanks man enjoy the videos
yea i wouldnt throw any more $ at the car until you get a Brand specific code reader. Those generic ones are too vague. if it could literally be expressing that the MAF is reading too lean etc and not an actual maf issue. GL
Why can't you put a little flare on your muffler pipe for it to hold in tighter
That is an excellent idea!
You could always use an 8mm or 10mm socket wrench to remove those hose clamps, anyway good video. I did the mod and needless to say OMG throttle response plus it sounds better.
you mean 1/4 inch or 7mm
Use a socket for the clamps. Think it’s a 7/8mm. You can get any angle. No need for a screw driver
Anybody going to tell him they make a beautiful silicone house that does this? 😏
Why why didn’t you just cap the intake off?
The real test for this is going to be when you turn up the boost 😈
well i used an old trick.. the pipe is slightly oversized and I stole some of my wives hair spray >;)
Bimmer Dude 🤣😂 oh yes ive been there before with the hairspray.
Hey Dude, First of all, thank you for your videos. I did not remove the plastic section that you replaced by cutting a pipe, instead I inserted a smaller diameter pipe and plug the hole with a hole plug that I found from the auto parts store. (Same place where you buy those metal pipe). It seems ok, there was no error code using a universal scanner. Do you really need a bmw/mini scanner to adjust something once you delete and why? Thanks.
Hey friend, seems to me like you made it work just fine :) You don't NEED a mini scanner to reset the adaptions. But it highly recommended to have one just incase you have problem down the road. its nearly impossibly to pinpoint the actual issue with a universal one. Thanks for leaving a comment and thanks for watching!
@@BimmerDude where do you get a mini scanner?
I wanna hear these mods 😤
Why didn't you just pop off the hose that goes to the interior at the pipe you are working on and just cap the T off, plug maker hose cost about $4 and leave the noise maker hose, in case you go to sell it .
exactly what I just thought too
I wondered that also. Just a core plug plastic bung and some glue/tape.
Ditto
Because the T piece is bad for airflow... Gas response is way better without that. And every gram that you remove from the Car is performance! Weight reduction brooo!!!
i thought the same thing! just cork it and move on lol
Ever take that thing on dirt roads they handle so well and pull out of a slide like nothing
Nope never. I actually think that would be seriously fun though I have driven front wheel drive cars on roads like that though the MINI would be a blast I'm sure!
Will it need a tune after this?
were you able to find this out?
I've been researching and I haven't been able to get details if this lit up any error code.
Just got the Forge one
Hey bimmer dude, if I SEND you a picture of the power window with motor, would you please tell me the one that will Fit my BMW X5 30! 2003?! SO I can order it. Not an e53! Thank you!! I'm looking for where I saved the picture 🤔My fan went out on my laptop, I hope I didn't burn up the motherboard. I left it on while I went to the store, didn't get proper ventilation. I'm Not stupid, but sometimes do Stupid things. 🙄Gotta troubleshoot and hope I can fix it?!
bullshitt with the tube, from forge and BMW as oem hose full piece without soundgenarator aviable. just checked hose of R56 LCI
you couldn't have just capped the stock hose?? the noisemaker side
I'm just about to make this mod on my wife's car, but I am tempted to print a plug for the "plastic piece" and epoxy it in. Can anyone see a problem doing that?
That's a really good ide actually 👌
thats now a boost leak maker when it slides off the clamps
Never had that issue myself
@@BimmerDude You are lucky because there is almost no play between engine and chassis at that point. A simple line with the MIG at the ends of the tube would suffice and would be a better design in the long run.
Had to do the same on mine in the turbo to intercooler muffler. It pops and leaks when making more than 1.8-2.0 bar
You wouldve had an easier time just capping off tge existing pipe that ran into the cabin rather than adding more crap to the build.
I think I will do it this way. Any Idea where to get a plug or cap that size?
Why not cork the 45 peace that comes off ....
omg get a sawzall for cutting crap like that buddy (:
Or at least a 1mm cutting disk
the hose with a bump in it is a defect in the material it should be replaced
I know it's convenient to hit up auto zone or what ever auto store is nearby, but these guys here www.siliconeintakes.com/ have an unlimited amount of usable stuff for all air intake and turbo needs that you can make work. The down side is you're waiting for shipping, up side it'll appear more professional.
Noise maker,!!! My 03 cooper S doesn't need that, it's naturally sporty..
Equaliser funny story, this car has turbo muffler on one side, a noise maker on the other lol da fuq tbh
wouldnt this have been easier to disconnect the hose and slap a cap on the diverter that leads to the cab ..or am i thinking about this in the wrong way 0_0
COPY: Pause @7:06 see the Old Little Maker Extension? Cap that off and UNPLUG your Noise Maker = DONE !!!
Your telling that the cool blow off sound is just BS? Geez. Really, Mini just installed a noise maker?
Put a Cap on the 'Noisemaker Pipe' + 'Fire Hole' and you are done!
That just defeats the purpose of removing the noise maker in the first place. Just capping that outlet will still leave a pocket that air will push into and cause turbulence (you don't want that) what you do want is a smooth path for the air to move through. Because of the turbulence created by "capping" your not making anything better and might as well leave it as is.
@@christophersands6042 - Pause @7:06 see the Old Little Maker Extension? Cap that off and UNPLUG your Noise Maker = DONE !!!
I got CEL after this mod :/
This means you have Un metered air (leak) some where . Check for tears in your hose even small ones. This video is quite old which means the hoses on your car have aged too
So jank. Happy boost leaks!!
Never leaked. Look how old the video is man lol. Who is still watching these in 2022?
Couldn’t you just cap it?
I'm also wondering if capping the pipe that goes to the firewall would do the same thing, and thus remove possibility of the mods slipping or coming undone under pressure
@@gretre4560 I’ve had the cap on for 2 weeks now still no issues and no problems. Cap hasn’t even budged at all. The opening on the firewall I just took the old insert and trimmed and capped it.
@@maxboya Really? What did you use to cap each end?
@@maxboya Hi Max. Can you please tell me how you capped? Thank you!
