Milltek Cat-back Exhaust New for New Mini Mk3 (F56) Mini Cooper S 2.0 Turbo (Rest of World) (2014 onwards) – Sharper Sound, Reduced Back Pressure
This is Milltek's cat-back system for the New Mini Mk3 (F56) Mini Cooper S 2.0 Turbo (Rest of World). It replaces everything from the factory catalytic converter rearward with wider-bore pipework, a re-profiled mid-pipe and silencers tuned specifically for this platform, cutting back pressure and sharpening the exhaust note. The factory catalytic converter stays in place, so the car's emissions hardware is left as standard. It's offered in non-resonated or resonated versions and 5 tailpipe finishes, so you can pick the setup that suits how the car's used.
It's aimed at owners who want a noticeably different sound and a genuine, if modest, flow improvement without touching anything upstream of the cat: a straightforward bolt-on that doesn't need a remap or any other supporting mods to enjoy.

Installation
The fitting time varies by version; see the specification table for the option you choose. We recommend professional fitting on a ramp. Once fitted, check the tailpipe alignment and re-check all clamps after the first few hundred miles.
What's the difference between the resonated and non-resonated versions?
The resonated version adds extra silencing for a quieter, more refined tone. The non-resonated version leaves it out, so it is louder and more aggressive.
Which tailpipe finishes are available?
You can choose from: GT-90 Cerakote Black, GT-90 Polished, GT-90 Titanium, GT-90 Burnt Titanium, JET-90 Carbon Fibre. The finish is cosmetic and does not change the sound.
Does it fit the New Mini Mk3 (F55) Mini Cooper S 2.0 Turbo - 5 Door Hatch (ROW/NA Models)?
No. For that car, choose the Milltek Cat-back Exhaust New Mini Mk3 F55 Mini Cooper S 2.0 Turbo - 5dr Hatch ROW & NA 14+.
Is it road legal?
Milltek does not list EC approval for this part. Any exhaust used on the road must still meet noise and emissions rules, so check the requirements where you live.
Do I need a remap?
No. It fits behind the factory catalytic converter, so no software changes are needed.
Does it keep the factory catalytic converter?
Yes. It fits behind the factory catalytic converter, which stays in place.
How long does it take to fit?
It depends on the version. Milltek's fitting time for each option is shown in its specification table.
What is it made from?
T304L aircraft-grade stainless steel, which is anti-magnetic and resists discolouration better than lower grades.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Milltek products are covered against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact us with your order number if you have a problem.
