Looking to put a high flow downpipe on my 2017 Mini Cooper S. Searching for what options are out there, I came across a company called CTS Turbo. But I have not been able to find any reviews or pictures of anyone putting one of these downpipes on their car.

Anyone have any experience with CTS Turbo products?

 

Well, I ordered the CTS catted downpipe as it was on sale. From the pictures, it looks well made.

We will see.

 

Just wanted to update my thread.

I received the CTS Turbo catted down pipe earlier this week. It is a quality, well made part. Fits perfectly in place of the stock down pipe. And the heat shield also fit back in place properly and the holes for the oxygen sensors lined up no problem.

I was able to re-use the dp to turbo v-band clamp. The dp to midpipe clamp should be replaced. I tried to re-use mine but the inner metal gasket part was a bit too deformed so I bought a new clamp/gasket.

I have not driven the car much since the install but exhaust volume is a little bit louder which is what I wanted. My car is the B46 engine version that has a second cat after the downpipe and then the resonator into the stock muffler. I will likely keep it this way as I'm not a big fan of loud exhausts and I don't like drone which you can get if you aren't careful.

Main this is CTS Turbo downpipe is good to go.

 

Nice. No issues with fitting? I heard on some of the cheaper pipes that the engine support bracket might not line up.

 

I read the same thing too.

On the CTS Turbo downpipe, they use a bracket that is a separate piece that bolts onto a small welded on bracket on the body of the dp with two nuts and bolts as well as having larger holes in the bracket. So it gives you max adjustability to fit. It's very well thought out.
