Mini Cooper JCW F56 LCI Facelift Mk3 3" Mid Pipe/Midpipe OPF/GPF/PPF Delete | Resonator Delete Centre/Center Section | 76mm Performance Exhaust Upgrade | TIG Welded Direct Fit | Track/Off-Road Use Only

Unleash the soundtrack of your F56 facelift John Cooper Works

Transform the character of your Mini with this centre section upgrade that replaces the factory resonator or GPF on later models. Designed for the F56 LCI JCW, this 76.2 mm 3 inch mid pipe frees up flow, lifts the volume and delivers a richer, sportier tone that the stock system simply cannot match.

We have fitted this in-house and the results are superb. Our customers love the deeper note under load, the crisp overrun crackles and the far more engaging drive. If you want that authentic motorsport vibe without swapping the whole system, this is the smart, cost effective route.

Why this upgrade

• 3 inch 76.2 mm mandrel formed mid pipe for improved gas velocity and response
• Direct fit between the catalytic converter section and the centre section
• Removes the flow restriction from the OE resonator or OPF on facelift cars
• Precision TIG welded hangers for OE level fit and durability
• Supplied with all required fittings and gaskets for a straightforward install

Real world gains and sound

Independent testing of the OPF removal pipe showed gains of up to +86 bhp with 120 Nm when paired with a specialist Stage 1 calibration. You also get a noticeable uplift in volume around +9 dB with a fuller, more aggressive tone. Expect a pronounced, throaty soundtrack on throttle and an addictive burble with pops and bangs on lift off.
