GTT R53 COOPER S REAR UNDERTRAY / HEATSHIELD
Fabricated aluminium heat shield to replace the original part that
bolts to the bottom of the boot mounted battery box.
Most standard shields by now are in a deteriorated and buckled
condition or even missing. The GTT shield looks stunning with
its laser cut ‘S’ logo and tough red or black powder
coat finish. It uses original fixings and can be used in conjunction
with standard, JCW, GTT and some other cat back exhaust systems.
To make this the best available we have a few tricks up our sleeve. Firstly we use TIG welding throughout; this is vastly superior to MIG welding used by most. It's better penetration resulting in a much stronger, smaller, & neater weld. This takes a lot longer to produce, but we think the Mini deserves proper engineering! Secondly we use not only 1.5" tube for the primaries but 2.5"(rather than 2.25") for the secondary pipe & flexi coupler. The flange plate is machined to the exact profile of the OEM manifold gasket; no steps & no restriction. Manifolds with round holes on the top flange plate are no good at all, they however much cheaper to make. The head ports are a rectangular shape with R15 rads on the top 2 corners and R6 rad on the lower 2 corners. The manifold needs to match this, then achieve good smooth profile transition into the 1.5" diameter primaries.
Finally we have opted for a 1.2mm narrow wall tube to reduce weight, remember weight is the enemy!
The new 120CPSI high efficiency/flow sports cat is unique in that it is a separate section, flange mounted at each end between the GTT manifold and the exhaust system. This allows quick and easy changeover without removing or disturbing either part. Why would I want this? Two reasons ,one is it allows our optional GTT 'cat bypass link pipe' to be easily substituted for track days & racing, releasing more power and reducing weight in the process. And secondly it gives provision for simple & cost effective cat replacement i.e. you don't need to purchase a complete new manifold too we have seen some aftermarket sports cats failing after just 30000miles.This shows as faultcode P0420 'catalyst system efficiency below threshold' and can cause mot failure and emissions test fail. With our system should the cat eventually become contaminated, you can purchase just a replacement cat, much cheaper & much easier to fit. NB The GTT Sports Manifold / Cat can be used with most exhaust systems. Fits all petrol models.

GTT De-Cat Pipe
Owners of the 2 part 'GTT Sports Cat/Manifold' can now purchase this optional extra.
Even the best catalytic converters in the world produce some back pressure or restriction. The 'GTT De-Cat Pipe' replaces the cat with a straight pipe in just a few minutes thanks to the flange mounting system.
The result is even more power particularly at higher rpm . A threaded boss for the oxygen sensor is included ;- very handy for connecting an on board O2 Sensor, allowing the enthusiast to monitor the air /fuel ratios on the move without any cat to ruin your data! This exclusive GTT item is TIG welded throughout and of larger diameter than other offerings.
NB Designed for race/trackday only.

GTT EXHAUST RE-ROUTE PIPE
This is included in GTT240 conversions and above. This product effectively gives you aftermarket system benefits at a fraction of the price, whilst maintaining the stock tailpipe appearance.The OE system is a mind boggling maze of tight bends with two silencers.
The GTT Re-Route pipe deletes many of these bends and one of the silencers, reducing restrictions and giving a better exhaust note in the process (not to loud).
As an added bonus it also removes nearly 20lb in weight! It is manufactured from S304 stainless steel, TIG welded throughout & mirror polished. Comes complete with new clamps.

GTT SLASH CUT EXHAUST TIPS (pair)
These fit the stock (not JCW) exhaust system of the Cooper S, and replace the ‘Budweiser Beer Can’ inspired stock tips. They are 3” diameter with slash cut ends. A clamp on design allows simple DIY fitment (no welding involved). Can be used with Standard or Aero bodykits. Produced from mirror polished stainless steel, & fully TIG welded for superb finish.( Appearance is similar to the Miltek ‘cat back’ tips.)
These GTT tips in combination with the the GTT Re-Route pipe make a perfect cost effective combination… Good looks, good sound, light weight and excellent performance!
