Mini Spares genuine RC40 system has justifiably earned the reputation of the best exhaust ever made for the Mini. Mild steel with stainless steel tailpipe. Typically used with an LCB manifold it gives great performance with a mellow sound. 1.75" OD pipe, resonator & silencer ("two-box" system). Side exit. For mounting see RC40FK.

Note, when fitted in conjunction with an LCB header, C-AEG365 you will require RC40-002 short pipe or alternatively cut the front kink off the RC40-001 pipe(from 5"-8") that is made for the freeflow manifold C-STR816. When properly installed, the system will fit up nicely into the tunnel and will not drag over bumps. A link pipe LDP1 is available to fit this larger bore twin box with downpipe RC40-002when fitting to original exhaust manifolds on 998cc etc without using a freeflow or LCB type exhaust manifold.

These have been fitted to Van/Estate with either a Freeflow or LCB manifold using the AN180V downpipe and cutting to gain the extra 3" required in length and then fitting a long tailpipe trim RC40-005 to the rear silencer box. You must match the system up before cutting the downpipe.

As an alterrnative Minispares manufacture an an extended downpipe RC40-004to use with single RC40 silencerC-STR809 and a tailpipe extension RC40-005 for both applications.
