Scorpion Cat-Back Exhaust System - MINI Cooper S (R52/R53) - 57.1mm
This Scorpion cat-back exhaust replaces the factory system from the catalytic converter back on the MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works (R53 hatch / R52 Convertible). It is built from 57.1mm (2.25") mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel pipework. Tailpipes: twin centre tailpipes – Monaco oval (90 x 76mm) or STW round (90mm). Choose resonated for a fuller tone with less drone at cruise, or non-resonated for a louder, more aggressive note. Scorpion lists it as fitting either the factory front section or Scorpion's own front pipework.
Options: Resonance: non-resonated or resonated – see above for the sound difference; Tailpipe finish: Monaco (oval, polished), STW (round).
Note: Suits the supercharged Cooper S and John Cooper Works hatch (R53) and Convertible (R52). Installation by a professional is recommended.
