Stock Exhaust?

Is the stock exhaust system on coopers made from regular steel? Or a grade of stainless?

My 16S was stainless. I remember because the shop I had doing an install had to cut it and they were yelling because of the stainless steel breaking blades

Thanks Vinnie..I have a 15 Countryman All4 S..everyone’s always talking about cutting out the 2nd cat/resonator and just replacing it with a pipe..never get a straight answer though as to if people are getting the proper pipe/wire to mig weld it back together..or if they’re just clamping it with a pipe from the parts store.

My original setup I did that. I bought a Milltek catless/resonator free mid pipe and the exhaust shop made a slipfit for the 2 then welded it together.

They were going to weld 2 flanges and go that route but we decided the slipfit and weld would be better

Here's is what I did first go around. Now I have a Remus setup - https://myredmini.com/milltek-catles...elete-midpipe/
