The stock Mini Cooper S (R56) down pipe restricts exhaust’s flow, slowing down the turbocharger spool rate, increasing exhaust gas temperature thus reducing horsepower output and can cause turbo and engine exhaust valve failures. 

Our full stainless steel, direct fit 2.5 inch catless downpipe for R55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 increases horsepower by opening up the exhaust gas path, increases turbocharger spool up rate, reduces exhaust gas temps as well as reducing under hood temps.  Works best on MINIs with stock S, JCW and hybrid turbos. 

This product is not emissions legal and is for off road use only.  Fits all MINIs with turbo engines from 2007-2013
