The local garage, NextGen Car Care in Clinton, NY, allowed me to film them doing the One Ball Mod to my 2005 Mini Cooper S. Enjoy.

Brenticoop, I just stop by a muffler shop and the guy told me $75 to get it done so Monday I'm heading to it. Thanks for all the info
@bretincoop12 жыл бұрын
I'd guess most shops wouldn't know what a one ball mod is. You'd have to ask them to remove one of the mufflers. This requires them to provide a small piece of pipe (90 degree). The first gen Cooper S had two mufflers and as far as I know are the only minis that can do this.

@bretincoop12 жыл бұрын
The stock exhaust on these cars have two "mufflers" and all of the exhaust gases go through both mufflers. This mod simply removes the first muffler (passenger side muffler). Since all gases went through the remaining muffler before the mod, there is no additional constriction/conflict. If anything, it is a freer flowing design since it only passes through one muffler now.

Your right I didn't notice the first time I watched the video. I thought I'd seen 1 inlet 2 outlets on passenger's side canister. I over looked it, I definably will give it a try. Is it any louder with only 1 muffler?
@bretincoop12 жыл бұрын
I don't remember the exact price, but it was less than $100. Glad you liked it!
@1lester77912 жыл бұрын
Just a question what canister did you use the drive side? wouldn't be a conflict with the airflow considering it's not meant to handle all of it? Just a thought It looks nice though
@bretincoop11 жыл бұрын
They only used a 90 degree bend pipe that was the same size diameter as the exhaust piping. You can see it in the video. If you do it yourself, be careful where you cut so the pipes line up!

Majic1kid- we don't have smog tests in NY, but I don't see why it wouldn't pass. It's only taking off one of the mufflers which only suppresses sound. The catalytic converter remains untouched.

Seems like the previous owner of my Mini did the same thing, but he made the piping himself. Mine is crazy loud. Cold start has like a muscle car burble and nowhere on the rev range is it quiet in any means. I think he removed more than just the right muffler.^^

Minicooper24- I'm not sure why you think this mod adds back pressure. It's obviously not as free flowing as a well tuned after market full exhaust, but by removing a restriction like an entire muffler wouldn't create back pressure; it would only reduce it. It's cheap, adds nice noise, removes about 30 pounds and free up a bit of flow. BTW- I'm a gear head and love my mini!
