Unleash the soundtrack of your F56 Mk3 JCW

Transform the character of your Mini with this high-flow mid pipe that replaces the factory centre silencer or GPF-PPF on later facelift models. Built in 76.2 mm 3 inch mandrel-bent tubing with precision TIG-welded hangers, it is a direct bolt-on from the catalyst outlet to the centre section, delivering a deeper tone, sharper response and a more engaging drive.

Expect a richer, motorsport-inspired note with pronounced burbles on lift-off and exciting pops and bangs under the right conditions. Independent development and testing have shown a meaningful uplift in volume around 9 dB, turning everyday journeys into something special while keeping cabin boom at bay.
