Mini Cooper Aftermarket Is it illegal to take out your RESONATOR in TX?
My resonator in my car is soooo big and bulky, it hits everything on the ground.. will my car pass inspection without this resonator? i have a 2004 mini cooper s (it's an aftermarket exhaust Alta system). I want to just put a striaght pipe in there.
when i say put a staight pipe in.. i mean to replace my resonator with a straight pipe.. then leading out to the muffler, etc.
Any modification of the exhaust system from what the factory would use is technically illegal, and can lead to you failing the visual inspection. No muffler in place = automatic fail. Check engine light on = automatic fail too, and that may happen also.

Auto Bild: Bmw, M-b Considering Partnership
Auto Bild, a German motor magazine, reported that BMW, the largest premium carmaker in the world, and its closest competitor, Mercedes-Benz, are in negotiations over a partnership in order to build subcompact cars.
Without citing sources, Auto Bild said in its forthcoming Friday edition that the two companies are expected to make a decision in July if the next generation Mercedes A-Class will be built on BMW's Mini platform.
BMW, Mini’s parent company, is considering finding a partner because heavy cost pressure means Mini runs the risk of losing money should its Oxford, England plant not run at full capacity.
Other than that, discussions could include Honda and existing partner PSA, and Mercedes, its arch-rival.
For its part, Mercedes has reportedly planned on building the next A-Class in 2012 on a platform to be developed together with Chrysler. But these plans have been dropped after parent company DaimlerChrysler have disposed majority of its stake in the loss-making U.S. carmaker.
Michael Ganal, BMW's sales and marketing head, suggested early last month in an interview with German business magazine WirtschaftsWoche the expansion of its current cooperation with Mercedes, which develops hybrid powertrains, into other fields also.
A BMW spokesperson said that Ganal was generally speaking on the possible further partnerships.
Ganal's counterpart, Mercedes sales chief Klaus Maier, denied days later that there were "any plans at present" to broaden the partnership any further.
A spokesman for Mercedes said that the brand retained its openness to cooperation where it makes sense but reaffirmed Maier's comments that there were no current plans to broaden its hybrid partnership with BMW into other areas.
