Exhaust Mini Paceman R61 (2013-2017)

The MINI Paceman R61, mainly Cooper S models (2013-2017) with 1.6i Turbo petrol engine (N18 B16 A, 184 hp), including ALL4 and JCW versions, offers a variety of OEM and aftermarket stainless steel exhaust systems designed for enhanced performance, reduced backpressure, optimized sporty sound, durability, and corrosion resistance.

The official JCW exhaust for the Countryman R60 and Paceman R61 Cooper S is made from stainless steel featuring two chrome tailpipes (Ø90 mm) with the JCW logo.
