Installation Notes
Fits 2007-2009 Mini Cooper, rear. Verify the vehicle’s emissions requirements before installation, since the manufacturer notes restrictions for vehicles licensed in CA, CO, ME, and NY. Confirm the inlet flare and outlet pipe dimensions against the existing exhaust system before installation. No O2 sensor ports are provided, so the vehicle configuration should be checked before ordering.
