Akrapovic MINI Cooper S (R56) / Cooper S Cabrio (R57) Evolution Line Cat Back (SS) 2009-2015

Built for the MINI Cooper S Coupe (R58) and MINI John Cooper Works Hardtop/Convertible (R56/R57), the Akrapovič MINI Cooper S (R56) / Cooper S Cabrio (R57) Evolution Line Cat Back (SS) (ME-MIN/TI/1H) is an Evolution Line exhaust engineered by Akrapovič for these cars. On the Akrapovič dyno it added 1.7 hp and 2.6 lb-ft.

What It Does

An Evolution Line covers a longer stretch of the exhaust than a slip-on, usually from the catalytic converters or the middle section back. The bigger scope lets Akrapovič tune the whole flow path for power, torque and sound together. Akrapovič also offers optional link pipes for this car, intended for closed-course use.

Materials and Construction

High-grade stainless steel gives the parts strength and good resistance to corrosion. It is a durable choice for a street car that sees all weather.

Akrapovič designs and builds its exhausts in Slovenia. The company is known for its titanium work, its carbon-fibre parts and the sound tuning it does for each car.
