Cobra Sport have expanded on their range of Mini performance exhausts having completed development on the facelift Mini Cooper S F56 LCI. Keen to build on an existing first class reputation in the performance Mini tuning scene, Cobra Sport have launched a unique 3" (76.2mm) bore GPF-Back exhaust system for the new F56 LCI model matching an enhanced driving experience with a dynamically improved sound track.

The Cobra Sport research and development team quickly made the decision to base the new performance exhaust systems on 3" (76.2mm) T304 stainless steel pipework. Initially available in GPF-Back exhaust configuration, full cat-back and de-cat/sports cat turbo back exhaust upgrades have been prepared in preparation for suitable GPF delete ECU remap software to become available at our tuning partners.

During the 4,000 rpm static test the GPF back exhaust system increased sound levels to 91.6dB on the static 4,000rpm track test. The Cobra Sport systems also offer an impressive weight saving over the standard system weighing in at only 14.39kg.

Cobra Sport Sales Manager Matt Thomas commented, "We're very excited about the release of the first of our new exhaust systems for the F56 LCI Mini. The 2.0 litre engine has a fantastic reputation and our Research and Development team have been able to really enhance and deepen the exhaust tone whilst still keeping the GPF in place. We've worked closely with leading Mini tuning companies fulfilling their requirements for a quality TIG welded product offering a real alternative to the JCW upgrades which not only sounds great but substantially enhances the gas flow to open up the possibilities of large performance upgrades."

The F56 LCI has an aggressive stance on the road. Cobra Sport have managed to improve the looks, finishing off the rear of the Mini with a more aggressive and balanced look. A choice of highly polished stainless steel tailpipes are available including 3.5" (88.9mm) inward rolled baffled and inverted tips. For those looking to improve the styling further, Cobra Sport offer a Ceramic Coated Black exhaust tip and stunning Carbon Fibre branded tailpipes.

As always Cobra Sport are willing to back up their promises on quality, with a lifetime guarantee for customers who purchase the exhaust upgrade. Usual refinements include, hand finishing using advanced TIG welding techniques and all Grade 304 stainless pipework being formed expertly on CNC Mandrel bending machines, which ensures the smoothest of gas flow, with precision jig manufacturing to ensure a perfect fit.
