Mini (Mk2) Cooper S / JCW (R59) Roadster Cat Back Performance Exhaust

This Mini Cooper S Roadster performance exhaust is made in 2.5"/63.5mm pipework and fit from the catalytic converter section backwards (Cat-back) these exhausts replace the centre and rear sections.

The resonated exhaust option includes the centre silencer and has a subtle but sporty tone. This exhaust however, is also available as a non-resonated version which is a louder option, as it excludes the centre silencer and therefore, has a sportier exhaust note.

Tailpipes - Twin 3.5" (88.9mm)

All relevant fittings and gaskets are supplied.

Please note: fitted images show the resonated option.

There is no stopping Cobra Sport this year, as they add another development exhaust to their ever expanding range of stainless steel sports and performance exhaust upgrades. This time it was the turn of the Mini Cooper S to be given the Cobra Sport treatment, this car benefits from a turbo charged 1.6 litre engine, already providing agile, entertaining handling but the Cobra Sport upgrade makes driving an even more relishing experience.

The twin 3.5" (88.9mm) polished round or inverted draga style tailpipes sit proudly against the cars striking silhouette instantly providing extra appeal, while increases in power and torque provide extra excitement from under the bonnet. As always, Cobra Sport's technicians carefully assessed the decibel levels for the OE exhaust and engineered the upgrade exhaust so that sound levels would not impede day to day drivability of the car, especially as it has a reputation for being on the noisy side during motorway cruising and they certainly have managed this perfectly, with only a barely audible 2dB increase from the OE version on the stationary test.

One of the striking improvements of the Cobra Sport system was the 22% weight saving achieved by swapping to the lightweight stainless steel exhaust from the cumbersome OE system, this certainly is a statistic not to be overlooked. As with all Cobra Sport exhaust systems, all pipework is formed using precision CNC mandrel bending which provides for a smoother gas flow, free flowing silencers increase performance, whilst all exhaust components are assembled by hand at their UK factory using expert TIG welding techniques. Non-magnetic grade 304 stainless steel is the material of choice for the best stainless exhausts, which I also Cobra Sport's specified steel choice enabling the customer to have complete peace of mind with a lifetime warranty.
