Cobra Sport MINI F56 JCW (Mk3) LCI Facelift Downpipe – 3in 76.2mm Turbo Outlet/Front Pipe | 200 Cell High-Flow Sports Cat or Catless Decat | PPF/GPF Compatible | UK-Made Exhaust Upgrade for John Cooper Works Stage 2

Unlock serious flow, sound and response on your Mk3 MINI John Cooper Works F56 LCI with this UK-built turbo outlet upgrade from Cobra Sport. Choose between a high-flow 200-cell catalyst pipe or a straight-through catless option for track use. Crafted in 3 inch 76.2 mm pipework with a large 4.5 inch 114.3 mm 200 cell core, this front section replaces the restrictive factory converter for a sharper, harder-hitting drive that MINI fans love.

Why enthusiasts choose this turbo outlet upgrade

• Bigger bore 3 inch 76.2 mm tubing reduces back pressure for faster spool and stronger mid-range
• High-flow 200-cell cat version balances performance gains with a refined, daily-drivable tone
• Catless track pipe maximises flow and sound for motorsport and off-road use only
• Designed, welded and tested in the UK by Cobra Sport for consistent quality and reliability
• TIG-welded construction and precision fitment for an OE-plus installation
• Supplied with all relevant fittings and gaskets except the turbo gasket

Real-world results

During development testing with a high-flow catalyst, resonated cat-back, conservative Stage 1 calibration and no additional hardware, output increased from 215 hp to 291 hp and torque from 338 Nm to 413 Nm. This freer-flowing front section is a proven foundation for further tuning with 300 plus hp readily achievable under similar conditions. Expect a deeper tone, crisper throttle response and a more pronounced overrun character.

Fitment and compatibility

• Mini F56 LCI John Cooper Works Mk3 facelift models PPF and non-PPF
• Fits from the turbo to the front pipe, replacing the OE catalyst section
• Mates to the stock system or combines with a Cobra Sport cat-back to create a full turbo-back set-up
