Upgrade your Mini Mk3 JCW or Cooper S F56 with a high‑flow turbo outlet pipe
Unlock sharper response, bigger sound and serious performance potential with this UK‑made Cobra Sport front section for the Mini F56 platform. Designed for both John Cooper Works and Cooper S, this free‑flowing turbo outlet solution replaces the restrictive factory catalyst to let your 2.0 turbo breathe and spool faster. We have fitted this in‑house and our customers love the deeper tone and extra urgency on the road and track.
Why enthusiasts choose this F56 upgrade
- 3 inch (76.2 mm) pipework for superior gas flow from the turbocharger
- Choice of 200 cell 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) high‑flow catalytic converter or cat‑delete race option
- Compatible with PPF and non‑PPF cars
- Fits from the turbo to the front pipe and can be paired with Cobra Sport cat‑back to create a full turbo‑back setup
- Mates with stock MINI exhaust systems or Cobra Sport systems
- All required hardware and gaskets supplied except the turbo gasket
- Designed, manufactured and TIG‑welded in Sheffield, UK
Real‑world performance gains
On test with the 200 cell converter plus a resonated cat‑back and a conservative Stage 1 calibration, output increased from 215 hp to 291 hp and torque from 338 Nm to 413 Nm. 300+ hp is readily achievable with supporting software. The freer‑flowing design improves exhaust velocity, boosts midrange punch and enhances turbo response.
Sound you can feel
Expect a richer, more aggressive note with a crisper overrun character. The catted option delivers a refined yet purposeful soundtrack. The catless version offers maximum volume and the most direct path for gases for track day use.
Fitment options
- Mini F56 Cooper S and F56 JCW
- Front section replaces the factory catalytic unit at the turbo outlet
- Cobra Cat Back fitment option can be combined with Cobra Sport cat‑back to form a complete turbo‑back upgrade
Legal and compliance notice
The catless variant is supplied strictly for motorsport and off‑road use only worldwide. The high‑flow sports catalyst replaces factory emissions equipment and is not EC homologated. It may not meet current road‑use emission laws in your area. Always check local regulations before installing.
