MiniTorque Mini Cooper S R53 & R52 long header Manifold

MiniTorque Long Header Manifold (De-Cat) for MINI Cooper S R53 / R52 (2002–2006)

Take your MINI’s performance to the next level with the MiniTorque Long Header Manifold De-Cat System — a high-performance upgrade engineered for maximum exhaust flow, increased power, and an aggressive motorsport sound.

Specifically designed for the MINI Cooper S R53 and R52 (2002–2006), this manifold replaces the highly restrictive factory unit with a true long header design, delivering significantly better performance compared to shorter manifolds commonly found on the market.

🚀 Maximum Performance with Long Header Design

Unlike compact or short manifolds, the MiniTorque long header configuration is built to optimise exhaust gas scavenging and velocity. The extended runner design allows gases to flow more freely, reducing back pressure and unlocking greater horsepower and torque gains across the rev range.

By removing restrictions and improving exhaust efficiency, you’ll notice:

• Stronger mid-range and top-end power
• Sharper throttle response
• Improved engine breathing

🔥 De-Cat System for Ultimate Flow

This version is supplied exclusively as a de-cat system, meaning the original catalytic converter is completely removed. This results in:

• Maximum exhaust flow and performance gains
• A raw, race-inspired exhaust note
• Reduced restriction for higher engine efficiency

Please note: No sports cat option is available for this product.

⚙️ Precision Engineering & Build Quality

Manufactured from high-grade materials, the MiniTorque manifold is built to withstand extreme temperatures and performance demands. Each unit is engineered for optimal fitment and durability, ensuring reliable performance whether on road or track.

🔊 Aggressive Motorsport Sound

With the de-cat configuration and long tube design, expect a deeper, louder, and more aggressive exhaust tone. This upgrade transforms the character of your MINI, delivering a true performance sound to match its increased power.
