I've been scouring facebook groups and local craigslist ads for awhile now and have barely seen any R53 JCW exhausts pop up. I'm wondering if anyone has a better idea of where to look? perhaps new as well?

 

They do come up for sell here every once in a while. Have you contacted one of the vendors here about one? The are in Tampa and do salvage work on MINIs.

ECS has the facelift exhausts new. The pre-facelifts are NLA. I have a wishlist on ECS with the parts needed and it’s about $1,030.

 

Thanks both for the suggestions, will check them out.

I wasnt aware the exhausts differ between pre and post facelift. what exactly changed between the two years in the exhaust system?

 

the hangers changed, the outside hangers are the same bu the inside hangers changed by 90 degrees

 

Thanks for the mention! We are actually in the process of parting out an early R53 with the JCW tuning kit. The rear exhaust section is still in tact and ready to go!

 

 

Oh man, I better bookmark the exhaust section on your website.

 

If you were local to Atlanta we have one, but much too large to ship.

bigger question is why not go with our Stratmosphere or Milltek exhaust? they fit great, no drone, and make more torque
