The DDMWorks Race Exhaust is a true bolt on exhaust, made from high quality materials with great looks and function. The exhaust mounts to your MINI using all of the factory mounting points under the car and does not require you to cut or weld your stock factory exhaust, allowing you to return to stock anytime, if needed. The key to making the system a true bolt on is the special front transition piece that we designed, that adapts from the stock turbo downpipe to the 3” Race Exhaust insuring an easy installation.
We could have chosen to go with less expensive and lower quality 409 stainless steel for the system to save some cost on the system, but instead we chose only the best materials to manufacture the system out of and that meant a full 304 stainless steel system ensuring an exhaust that will last you a lifetime. At the back of the system is the fully polished exhaust canister itself, which is finished off with 2 hand built dual wall stainless tips built by craftsmen who have been building exhausts for years.
Removing the factory exhaust and replacing it with the DDMWorks Race Exhaust, provides you with faster turbo spool and a big power increase of 15 Horsepower and 15 ft/lbs of torque measured at the wheels on your R56. Although this system is not for the faint of heart, as the straight through system provides a deeper exhaust note and also an increase in volume, it is something that can be easily used on a street car. Another benefit of the Race exhaust is the removal of the restrictive secondary catalytic converter found in the stock system. Removing this secondary cat allows a much higher flowing system providing more power for your MINI at the wheels. For those that may want to have the secondary cat, we can do that also, and offer a high flow secondary catalytic converter as an option. This is the same exhaust that we have been using on our daily driven R56 MINI for thousands of miles and is the best performing aftermarket exhaust for the R56 available.
