Also, i would imagine that the mini's stock exhaust setup would be more conservative than the M3's stock setup. Therefore, an aftermarket setup could produce a more significant gain.

I hope that the +30hp info is correct. That would be awesome. However, I doubt it will produce 30 hp....just my2 cents.
True. Especially on turbo setups, and yeah hahaha the stock Cooper S exhaust was a restrictive so and so. I went from 1.25in inside diameter piping to 2.5in, and don't even get me started on the muffler setup haha, I bought the car for the soul purpose of modding and Autocross, and it's done it's job and then some.

I do also hope it creates that much power, but like I also stated a couple hours ago, it seems pretty lofty.
