The third stroke, that following the compression stroke, of our four stroke Mini engine is the only one producing power. The other three consume it. Here we’re looking at with exhaust manifolds, so what we need to consider is how to minimise power consumed on the exhaust stroke as the piston pushes the spent gases out. A free-flowing set up’s the name of the game - size playing an impo...

The RC40 system is ready made to fit the original Cooper and Cooper ‘S’ exhaust manifold. This also applies when fitting an RC40 to the maniflow freeflow manifold C-STR816. When fitting to any LCB varieties the flared part of the downpipe (1) needs to be cut off, (NOTE: will only fit inside LCB ‘Y’ piece of 1.875" (47.63mm) inside diameter). As there are many variants of LC...
