I really appreciate. So I took a look underneath, I HAVE 2 FLAT END ON MY RESONATOR!! This is sweet! Full catback approved! I was using my phone to took a peak, it wasn't very clear due to lighting and angle. My 2nd cat looks a bit different than yours (maybe it's covered by something?) By I can confirm that the resonator looks 100% like yours! Flat and flat, no cone thingy. Man you just made my day! Thanks for all your great help. Now I can proceed with Remus!

After searching for hours on google and youtube this video saved me! Thank you for this my guy

I’m glad I stumbled onto this video of yours. I’ve been scrambling around trying to determine if I could remove mine without issue as it looks just like all of the others I’ve removed from my MINIs. I have 2022 JCW Clubman which is quite tame sounding compared to all my others. The 2nd cat and resonator look like yours. Thanks for posting this.

I was thinking about buying a cat-back system for my f56, does having a gpf dictate what exhaust I can buy even though it is mounted after the catalytic converter/potential gpf?

I installed the pro exhaust on my lci model that had a gpf filter. The pro exhaust didn't come with a 2nd cat ... So the gpf filter has been removed and i will have to code the car next week because the engine light has been on (even though it was not monitored). I think now the car is a straight pipe from the cat.

Thank you so much for this video! I’m in Canada and thought I had a GPF but glad to hear I don’t. I’ve got a 2020 Countryman JCW and am trying to figure out why it doesn’t pop at all while driving. When revving standing still it burbles beautifully just like my last mini but nothing while moving. Im always in sport mode, letting off over 3k rpm and even letting off before that as well sometimes and nothing… assuming this has to do with new regs but do you by chance have any idea how I could go about fixing it? Maybe I’ll have to get it tuned but I worry about warranty… Thanks!

Very interesting... So I'm from the middle east and there's just one mini dealer in my country and they strictly only do business with mini UK. Which is of course European market. However, mine does not have a GPF. I was looking into installing the pro exhaust. I watched your video on that and then came to this one after reading the comments about the GPF thing. To be honest, I lost hope right away when I read the controversy that European cars have the GPF filter. Because as I said, our dealer only do business with mini UK. Even more, we have stupid car regulation to a point where we can't even slap a simple sticker on our cars. On the other hand, if a dealer sells a car fully modified then its somehow completely fine by regulations. The only thing that made me go outdoors and check for the GPF filter is after a read a bunch of comments here of how they don't get pops and bangs because of the GPF filter. Because I do get them, and on some rare occasions, I get a crazy gun-fire loud bang approximately 3-5 seconds after a downshift. Not to mention the consistant pops and bangs after letting off the gas in sport mode. I guess in my case I'm a super lucky dude to have this car 😁

thank you so much for that video. i will put the pro exhaust next week on my 2020 jcw f56. i will make sure that my garage will leave the GPF build in and right after will put on the jcw pro exhaust components. the garage first recommended to exchange the whole exhaust from directly from the katalysator. but i definitely don’t want to see any engine lights afterwards and coding on my car. should be the case right? as well would be interesting to hear an exhaust (GPF + jcw pro exhaust).

I have US f56s and did resonator delete, not really satisfied with the sound do you think deleting the 2nd car will help? Thanks

Your photo showed the Tuning kit. JCW pro exhaust kit DOESNT come with that second “cat”. I’m confused now. I’m in the US and want to put this on my 24 jcw. Afraid second cat delete will throw check engine light

Do the models that come from the Netherlands have a PPF ?
