 The MINI John Cooper Works is the icing on the cake of the new-generation Mini. Already the ultimate in performance and fun, this Mini will be even more enjoyable to drive along winding roads when it’s fitted with an Akrapovic aftermarket exhaust system crafted from the finest stainless steel. This street-legal exhaust system consists of an optimized link pipe, a built-in resonator, and a rear muffler.
The customer can choose from two sets of tail pipes, made from either prestigious titanium or the sportier carbon fiber. Even from a distance it’s easy to see that this John Cooper Works has an Akrapovic exhaust system, thanks to the 95-mm increase in diameter. Upclose, the tail pipes are a work of art—they mirror ourattention to the smallest of details.
Akrapovic engineers have also dedicated their attention to the sound aspect of the JCW; the result of their work is the recognizable Akrapovic sound, in which no unwanted droning can be heard. The beat of these tail pipes will further inspire you to drive dynamically.
Performance
The Evolution exhaust system also improves the John Cooper Works performance. This street-legal system adds 2 horsepower and 4 Nm of torque compared to the stock exhaust and is over 2 kg lighter. A glance at the power graph shows a consistent power increase for this 1.6-liter turbo engine between 2,500 and 5,500 rpm: exactly the range most often used for dynamic driving.
The JCW is a Mini icon to which the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system adds an entire package of extras, from power and torque increases to weight reduction, the even sportier  sound, and the sheer beauty of the system, which will awe passersby even when your John Cooper Works is parked.

The Mini is considered a car that always brings a smile to your face with its playful look and particularly its position on the road, which is reminiscent of driving a go-kart. The engineers from Akrapovic prepared solutions for the little devil that further increase the performance of the Mini Cooper S and the Cooper S Cabrio as well make it sound even more appealing. Just by looking at the rear, you can clearly see it’s an Akrapovic – namely, the rear boasts a dual exhaust system outlet of a larger diameter, shaped like racing exhausts. The homologated stainless steel aftermarket Evolution exhaust system with an integrated resonator and end muffler is equipped with adjustable tail pipes made of titanium or carbon fiber. The most demanding customers can also upgrade the Evolution exhaust system by using a down pipe with catalyst.

Did you know you can turn your Mini’s exhaust system into a fashion accessory? Outfitting it with Akrapovič tail pipes, which can be installed very simply right onto the stock exhaust, further customizes this British auto icon. Even from a distance these tail pipes stand out because they’re larger. But up close this accessory commands even more admiration because the eye is rapidly drawn to our attention to the smallest of details. Combined with the use of premium materials, this is what makes our products distinctive. For the Mini we’ve created top-quality tail pipes from titanium or a special handmade version from aerospace-grade prepreg carbon fiber cloth wrapped around a special titanium alloy core. These tail pipes can be installed directly onto the stock exhaust without any modification in only a few minutes.
