Mini Cooper S 02-03 – OE-RS – MR-CBS-MC02

The Mini Cooper S was designed with the Track in mind. It s Bulldog-Like stance that s low and wide matched with the location of the wheels as far out on the chassis as possible make for incredible handling. The 1.6L Supercharged 4-Cylinder motor pulls through the race track with exceptional throttle-responce and low-end torque. Weighing in at around 2,600lbs. the vehcile was designed with the Performance-Minded Track Driver in mind. The exhaust system was no exception, with it s mellow tone and nice “burble” upon throttle-letoff. But being manufactured by BMW now, the conservative hand does come into play. For those who demand the most from their MCS s, Megan Racing has developed an OE-Style Cat-Back system that incorporates a Split-Dual Exhaust system that increases the performance of your MCS every step of the way. From the moment you open up the box, you ll notice the fine craftsmanship of the T-304 Stainless Steel exhaust. The clean welds and polished finish truly offer a Show-Car Piece that can be seen from the rear of the vehicle just slightly, offering a tell-tale sign to the performance within. The lightweight yet durable T-304 construction weighs in at 38.2lbs which gives you a 9.3Lb weight savings from the bulky OEM system which weighs in at 47.5lbs and is full of large bends and two large mufflers. After installation, the exhaust note is a nice mellow tone with mild interior resonance. Get on the throttle and you ll find a nice aggressive yet smooth tone all the way through the powerband without any “rasp” commonly associated with import exhaust systems. Let off the throttle and that familiar “burble” is more pronounced, letting those around you know that there s more than meets the eye to your Pint-Sized Curve Killer. Dyno charts prove a performance gain in both Horsepower and Torque throughout the ENTIRE powerband with gains peaking at 6.1whp and 8Ft-Lbs. at the wheels.
