ALTA Performance Cat-Back 2.5" Exhaust
Part #: AMP-EXT-100BR
$855.00 For each
Fits On:
2002-2006 MINI Cooper S
Description:
R53 Cat-Back Exhaust System
The ALTA Cat-back Exhaust both sounds and looks great while performing the way the factory system should have. The exhaust note is pleasant and lively at idle while giving a sporty and throaty growl under hard acceleration. You get all these benefits without any annoying resonances at high idle or while cruising the interstate!
Construction
The ALTA Cat-back Exhaust uses 2.5" diameter 304 Stainless Steel tubing and is the perfect match for the high revving, supercharged power plant in your Cooper S. The system directs exhaust gases through two strategically placed mufflers. This combination reduces the sound volume down to a low growl while the straight through design provides maximum air flow. While perfectly suited for otherwise stock Cooper S's, the system is a real power builder on Cooper "S" equipped with ALTA's S/C pulley, intake system and other engine modifications.
Single Side Design
The "S" shape of the ALTA exhaust system favors high horsepower by increasing exhaust gas velocity, while maintaining the factory exhaust tip location. ALTA's exhaust system travels down the center of the car, around one side of the battery box, then out the center bumper cut out. This routing is simple, light weight, and very clean looking. ALTA's system is offset to the passenger side of the car, to help counterbalance the weight of the driver.
V-Band
ALTA exhaust systems are the only systems available for the MINI which feature V-band flanged joints. V-band flanges make installation easy because they do not require a gasket and offer more system adjustment for better tip placement. Easy to remove and reinstall for routine maintenance, and never any blown gaskets!
Finish
This ALTA Cat-back Exhaust has a brushed metal finish. The brushed finish has a grainy metal look which is easy maintained with a Scotchbrite abrasive pad.
Lifetime Warranty
ALTA Performance warrants to the original purchaser that all ALTA cat-back exhaust systems will be free from defects in material and workmanship.*Some exclusions apply.
Off Road Note

Q: What exactly does "cat-back" mean when people say "cat-back exhaust"?
A: Many performance exhaust systems are also referred to as cat-back exhausts. Cat-back means that the exhaust piping starts from your catalytic converter and runs back all the way to the exhaust tip(s).
Q: What does an ehaust system do? Why buy an exhaust system?
A: A performance exhaust system is used to increase horsepower for your car by allowing exhaust gases to pass through your exhaust system with less backpressure and less resistance. Larger-diameter piping is normally used, depending on the application, in order to gain more horsepower and torque levels throughout the power band. A performance exhaust system can be the most cost-effective modification you can do to get more horsepower out of your car, not to mention that it will give your car a deeper more aggressive sound. And depending on the brand, performance exhaust systems normally include gorgeous new mufflers that add a great appearance to your car.
Q: How do you install an exhaust system?
A: Exhaust systems are installed using the supplied hardware, which includes gaskets and high grade bolts. This is truly a bolt-on procedure and most exhaust systems are an exact fit with no modifications needed. For this reason, getting a performance exhaust system is normally considered one of the easiest ways to gain noticeable horsepower for your car.
Q: Does a cat-back exhaust come with a catalytic converter?
A: No, "cat-back" actually means from the rear of the catalytic converter back, so it will include everything after the converter, but not the converter itself.
