The team behind the MINI is widely acknowledged as having done a great job bringing this iconic car up to date. The Evolution exhaust system made of high-quality stainless steel adds even more to the performance and fun to be had. This system consists of an optimized link pipe with a resonator and rear muffler. It improves performance, adds power and torque, and improves the responsiveness of the four-cylinder engine, especially in the rpm mid-range. The performance exhaust system has a sporty and aggressive tone, without any unwanted droning, that’s in keeping with the character of the car it’s designed for. Complete the look with a set of two exquisite 95 mm tailpipes in titanium or carbon fibre. Optional down pipe with sports catalytic converter for even greater power. EC type-approval is valid for engine type N18B16A and N14B16A.
