Milltek Filter-back Exhaust New for New Mini Mk3 (F56) Mini Cooper S 2.0 Turbo (UK and European models) - LCI with GPF/OPF Only (2019-2020) – Sharper Sound, Filter Retained
This is Milltek's particulate filter-back system for the New Mini Mk3 (F56) Mini Cooper S 2.0 Turbo (UK and European models) - LCI with GPF/OPF Only. It replaces everything downstream of the factory diesel or petrol particulate filter with wider-bore pipework and re-tuned silencers, cutting back pressure and sharpening the exhaust note. The filter itself is left exactly where the manufacturer fitted it, so emissions equipment is unaffected. It's offered in resonated EC approved or non-resonated versions, valved or non-valved versions and 5 tailpipe finishes, so you can pick the setup that suits how the car's used.
It's the right choice if you want a sportier sound and a genuine, if modest, flow improvement on a filter-equipped car, without going anywhere near the parts of the system that keep it emissions-compliant.

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.
Should I choose the valved or non-valved version?
The valved version lets you switch between a quieter tone and the full exhaust note. Choose non-valved if you want the same sound all the time.
Which tailpipe finishes are available?
You can choose from: GT-90 Burnt Titanium, JET-90 Carbon Fibre, GT-90 Cerakote Black, GT-90 Polished, GT-90 Titanium. The finish is cosmetic and does not change the sound.
