Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system for the Mini Cooper S (R56) and the Cooper S Cabrio (R57)

The Mini is considered a car that always brings a smile to ones face with its playful look and particularly its position on the road, which is reminiscent of driving a go-kart. The engineers from Akrapovic prepared solutions for the little devil that further increase the performance of the Mini Cooper S and the Cooper S Cabrio as well make it sound even more appealing. Just by looking at the rear, we can see that it’s an Akrapovic – namely, the rear boasts a dual exhaust system outlet of a larger diameter, shaped like racing exhausts. The homologated stainless steel Evolution exhaust system with an integrated resonator and end muffler is equipped with adjustable tail pipes made of titanium. The most demanding customers can also upgrade the Evolution exhaust system by using a down pipe with catalyst.

The Akrapovic exhaust system also improves sound characteristic, reduces drone and vibrations and makes driving even more enjoyable. The Evolution system, with the optional down pipe, greatly improves the motor’s performance at all revolutions, which is evident from the enclosed diagram. The system offers an additional 7.6 HP and 7 Nm. Additionally, improvements to weight are not negligible, since the Akrapovic exhaust system, made of stainless steel, together with the optional down pipe, weights 3.67 kilograms less than a stock exhaust system.
