MINI R56 Cat-Back Exhaust
ALTA 3" R56 Cat-Back ExhaustALTA the first company to offer a full 3" Cat-Back exhaust for the new 2007 Mini Cooper S (R56).The ALTA Cat-Back Exhaust System looks great, sounds better and performs like it should! Makes more horsepower and torque than competitive systems with its full 3" plumbing. Sounds great with a deep mellow tone and no drone at freeway speeds. Installs easily too! |

|
All Stainless SteelALTA exhaust systems are made entirely of 304 stainless steel, from beginning to end. 304SS provides high corrosion resistance, and is durable under extreme conditions including heat up to 1800 degrees! Other manufactures and OEMs, will use cheaper 409 stainless steel which will rust and corrode over time. ALTA knows the added internal expense of 304 stainless steel is well worth cost and durability. When you add in the ALTA Lifetime Warranty this system simply can't be beat in any competitive comparison. |
|
High Flow 3" TubingALTA technicians have proven time and time again that 3" makes more power while still keeping exhaust tones under control. Our huge 3" exhaust only weighs just little pound more than the stock 2.3" exhaust. You don't sacrifice anything by going with the ALTA 3" exhaust so don't be fooled that 2.5" exhaust systems are big enough for your turbocharged MINI Cooper. |
|
Straight Through Muffler and TubingALTA Performance mufflers have a true 3" internal diameter for uninterrupted exhaust flow. ALTA mufflers and flange connections are 3" throughout the entire length, (never necked down even at transition points) for ultra smooth transitions throughout the system. |
|
|
Dual TipsTwin over-sized slash cut exhaust tips keep with OEM styling, but add an aggressive look at the same time. The tips are a high polished, dual-wall construction to add a more refined look and to ensure the tips do not dis-color with extreme heat. |
|
V-Band ClampsThe ALTA Cat-Back exhaust features high tech v-band clamps for a simple yet perfect exhaust connection. V-band clamps are designed to hold hundreds of pounds of pressure and do so without the need for a gasket! This connection provides a precise connection with the ability to rotate each joining connection. This allows for easy installation, and alignment adjustments for a perfect fit every time. |
|
Finish OptionsThis PERRIN exhaust system has a brushed metal finish. The brushed finish has a grainy metal look which is easy maintained with a Scotchbrite abrasive pad. |
|
HP gainsThe ALTA Cat-Back Exhaust has solid gains of 10 Wheel HP and 10 ft-lbs of torque. While 10 WHP is very noticeable, more noticeable is that the turbo spools roughly 200RPM sooner. This quicker spool means more low end power! |

What People Are SayingDon't Take Our Word For It |
| Went to Prescott,AZ and back Memorial Day weekend with your 3" cat-back just installed. HP & Torque is just as you state with mpg@ 35.2 for the 800mi round trip, but I was running 80-85 most of the way. At 65, the computer showed 42-46mpg so I ain't complaining! IMO,the great thing is music. Coming down the Yarnell grade this morning using only the gearbox for braking, it let out the most awesome howl I've ever heard from a 4 banger!! Thanks for a great piece of work. Dwight MINI Cooper Owner |

Cooper S Catback TestThis test was done on our 07 MCS when it was in stock form. These tests prove that the ALTA 3" catback makes 10WHP and 10ft-lbs of TQ over the OEM part. With roughly 1 hour of install time, you can add some cool sounds and power to your MCS. |
