These Milltek Sport parts fit the 2007-2013 MINI Cooper S hatch (R56) with the 1.6 liter turbo four. These large-bore Milltek downpipes replace the restrictive factory downpipe on the turbo R56 Cooper S. A Milltek hot-side part replaces the restrictive factory section with larger, smoother T304L tubing, so exhaust gas leaves the engine with less resistance. Pick a catted version to keep a catalytic converter in the system, or a catless version for a dedicated track car. Where an option names a Milltek cat-back in parentheses, that version is made to join it. The MINI Cooper S R56 parts are T304L stainless steel with mandrel-bent tubing, which keeps the pipe at full size through each bend and resists corrosion for years. They bolt in place of the factory parts with no cutting or welding.
Choose the Part you need. Catless Downpipe (Milltek Cat-Back) has no catalytic converter. It is for off-road and track use only and needs an ECU remap, and it connects to a Milltek cat-back. Catted Hi-Flow Sports Cat Downpipe keeps a high-flow sports catalytic converter. Milltek recommends an ECU remap with it.
Pair them with the Milltek cat-back for the MINI Cooper S R56 for a complete Milltek exhaust.
