Cobra Sport Mini Mk3 Cooper S F56 LCI (2019+) GPF/OPF/PPF Delete/Removal Exhaust Mid-Pipe – 3'' (76mm) Stainless Centre Pipe, Resonator Delete, Olive Clamp Joint – Fits B48 2.0T & JCW – Track Use Only

Unlock the soundtrack your Mk3 Mini deserves

Transform the tone and character of your 2019 onward F56 LCI Mini with this Cobra Sport GPF/OPF removal mid-pipe. Designed for EU models with the olive clamp joint, this free-flow centre section replaces the restrictive particulate canister and factory resonator to deliver a deeper, more aggressive note and sharper throttle response. Expect a serious uplift in volume and presence with an approx. 9 dB increase under load, plus those addictive burbles, pops and bangs on overrun.

Why this upgrade hits the sweet spot

• Big-bore 76.2 mm (3 inch) T304 stainless pipework for maximum gas velocity and durability
• Precision mandrel bends and neat TIG-welded hangers for OE-like fit and finish
• Resonator removal for a sportier, richer soundtrack without adding drone
• Direct replacement centre section from the front catalyst outlet to the middle of the system
• All clamps and gaskets included for a straightforward installation
• Reversion kit available to refit your original centre silencer when required

Fitment and compatibility

Made for F56 LCI facelift cars from 2019 onwards that were factory-equipped with a petrol particulate filter (also known as PPF, GPF or OPF) and the olive joint connection. Suits the 2.0-litre B48 turbo petrol Cooper S and commonly fitted to JCW variants sharing the same layout. Please visually confirm the olive clamp style on your car before ordering.

Note: This is a standalone centre section and is not required when using a full Cobra turbo-back system.

Tuning and legal notice

For motorsport, track day and off-road use only because it removes the particulate filter. An ECU recalibration is mandatory at the time of installation to prevent an engine warning light on vehicles originally fitted with GPF/OPF hardware.

Real-world results you can hear

After extensive development, the Cobra Sport mid-pipe frees up the system for a more vivid, engaging sound. The 2.0T note becomes fuller and more purposeful, especially under load, with crisp overrun theatrics. It is the most cost-effective way to wake up your facelift Mini’s voice while keeping factory catalysts in place.
