The title of the video is "catback", not turbo back. FWIW

r56mini - The power gain from a cat-back exhaust and downpipe & cat is definitely noticeable on the R56 MINI.

0dTMINI7 - this car has both the catback and the downpipe installed.

Hope this helps - the team@Lohen



The title should say turboback though If it's not just the cat-back. Thanks for trying though

I like the sound exactly what I was looking for. I really haven't had much time with it driving, basically when I get on it I can hear the exhaust other than that I don't know it's there haha. I'm going to watch my bro play basketball at 9pm (eastern time)which is like a 30 minute drive going the speed limit. I'll try to remember to do a write when or if I come home tonight.

My rating: Not a real noticable noise from the inside while cruising unless I really get on it then there's a deep bellow(similar to a subaru like others have said) which sounds awesome. At idle it's dead quiet not even a little rumble. As far as I can tell with performance I can't really tell if I've gained any. My next big mod will either be the Intercooler or downpipe, but that's in the extremely distant future. I give it

Glad you like it! Also, give it a few hundred miles to "set" in the sound. It will get a little bit deeper and louder (not obnoxious though dont' worry.)

thanks again!

That's my next big mod is the downpipe for sure when I get the money! I've already put like 200 miles on it is starting to sound deeper.


The muffler shop that installed the catback said that'd have to see if they were capable of doing the downpipe. It cost 89 to install the catback how much do you think would be tacked on to installed the downpipe if you include the 89 for uninstaling and reinstalling the catbak?

The cat-back doesn't have to be un-installed to do the DP. I would expect $200 based on the other price. Let me know!
