Performance and Quality from Quicksilver - UK's premier exhaust products manufacturer!

The original manifold has four short primaries and a restrictive collector followed by two catalytic converters in series. These catalytic converters have cores with about 500 cells per square inch (cpsi) giving a flow area of approximately 60%.

The Quicksilver Manifold and 'Race-Cat' has four longer tuned length primaries followed by a single free-flow catalytic converter. This 'Cat' has a microscopically thin Fecralloy metallic core of 200 cpsi to which the essential Platinum and Rhodium are applied at a much greater density (25 grams per cubic foot compared to 10 grams on a typical aftermarket product).

This all results in a flow area of approcimately 85% whilst remaining clean enought to meet emissions requirements.

[ ] The Fecralloy metallic core is very durable, far more so than ceramic cores typically used.
[ ] Incorporates a triple-walled flexible section to a much higher spec than the twin-wall OE item.
[ ] Accelerated gas-flow draws heat away more efficiently.
[ ] Bolt-On fit - precision engineered.
[ ] The two original lambda sensors are retained.
[ ] Dyno tests show a 12 bhp improvement and increased mid-range torque.
[ ] Type 304 Stainless Steel - Raw Finish

Imported from the UK. Deliver may take 2-4 weeks.

Not legal for street use in California and other states adopting California Emissions Standards.

QuickSilver have always manufactured it’s standard systems to duplicate the original, as closely as possible, using the same thickness of material, the same mountings and the same internal silencer designs to ensure the correct appearance, performance and sound.

Question:
Will this work on a r56? The listing says r53.
Answer:
The NME1124 Exhaust Header is not compatible with the R56 Mini Cooper S Hardtop. This header on the R53 bolts to the cylinder head.

Your R56 has a turbo that bolts to the exhaust manifold, with a downpipe after the turbo.

QUESTION FOLLOW UP - Okay. Thank you for your prompt response. My R56 is my daily driver. So far I’ve installed an air intake and quick silver exhaust. I want to add a down-pipe and exhaust manifold. What would you recommend? next year I would like to upgrade the turbo, intercooler, and get it tuned. 

ANSWER TO FOLLOW UP:  If you are planning a turbo upgrade in the future, I would recommend the larger 3" downpipe. However these products are not street legal and you will need to address the check engine light issue from the aftermarket cat....

Performance and Cat Back Exhaust systems for your Gen 1 R50 R52 and R53 MINI Cooper offer better flow with reduced back pressure for improved performance. These systems typically offer a lower deeper tone with a slight increase in sound volume. Some of these systems install at the front flange, the others are spliced in after the secondary catalytic converter or resonator.
