Dump Valve for R56 Cooper S

[Iiceman]

Hi all
is it possible to add an aftermarket dump-valve to a stock R56 Cooper S (for that swoosh sound...lol)?
Also its an Automatic, would that make a difference?

Don't bother, you will lose power.

Car comes with a standard swoosh sound , mine is very loud !! I can hear it very clearly.

Add an intake, swoosh should be louder

doesn't it use a diverter valve?

like burgy said..add an cone filter

It has an ecu controlled DV, you can add a spacer valve.

the standard valve sounds pretty cool when your windows are down

I hear the R56 looses power with a cone filter,rather keep standard intake setup and add a K&N flat bed filter

I have an intake on the car and the swoosh has increased immensely.
Car gained 3wkw with the cone filter and is way more responsive. Car is now sitting on 131wkw's @ KAR Performance Dyno.

Check the Swoosh!

Is it just a standard cone filter, or did u utilize a CAI?

Awesome kit.
So does it make the bonnet scoop functional?
What did you pay

 

[Jarv]

The bonnet scoop works really well so I rate with a filter directly in line with the scoop shud work well
