Stainless-steel catback for MINI Cooper S R52 with a 2.5-inch main tube and twin 3¼-inch rolled tailpipes. High-flow construction focuses on improved exhaust flow and a characterful, aggressive note.


Improved Engine Breathing - Thanks to 2.5-inch High-Flow Tubing

A 2.5-inch (63.5mm) main tube increases cross-sectional area, lowering backpressure and allowing exhaust gases to exit more freely. Smoother gas flow helps the engine breathe more efficiently at higher revs.

Noticeable improvement in midrange response and throttle feel during spirited driving, particularly under load.

Characterful, Aggressive Tone - With Twin 3¼-inch Rolled Tailpipes

Twin rolled tailpipes change exhaust resonance and flow patterns, emphasising a raspier, louder tone. The design contributes to the reported pops and bangs on overrun as exhaust pulses encounter freer flow.

Adds presence on acceleration and satisfying overrun noises, ideal for drivers who want a bold soundtrack on road and track.

Durability and Fitment Confidence - Thanks to Stainless Steel Construction

Stainless steel resists corrosion from road salt and moisture, maintaining structural integrity and finish over time. Construction quality and included fittings support accurate alignment and mounting.

Long-lasting finish with easy, hassle-free installation and a precise fit that reduces the need for adjustments after fitting.
