Product Information

Mini Exhaust Manifolds diagram for Cooper

An exhaust manifold is a component that collects exhaust gases from the engine’s cylinders and directs them into the exhaust system. Typically made of cast iron, stainless steel, or tubular steel, it bolts directly to the engine cylinder head and channels gases into the catalytic converter and exhaust pipes.

• Exhaust leaks (ticking or hissing noise) – especially noticeable during acceleration or cold starts.
• Reduced engine performance – loss of power or acceleration due to improper exhaust flow.
• Check Engine Light (CEL) – triggered by oxygen sensor readings affected by leaks.

About Genuine Mini

The original parts used by Mini to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mini” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mini, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mini Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mini are not necessarily manufactured by Mini. No cause for concern, as Mini designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mini for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mini parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mini logo.
