Installation of the John Cooper Works JCW Pro Exhaust on a 2021 GP3 MINI Cooper

- I created this short video to show that the JCW Pro Exhaust kit will fit and work on the 2021 GP3 MINI.
I used kit: 18302407323 Exhaust Flap System
I got the kit from MINI of Kennesaw: parts.miniofkennesaw.com/oem-...
You will need to choose exhaust tips since they are NOT included in the kit. Your options are Stainless or Carbon Fiber. I went with the Carbon Fiber tips but here is a link for each. It's important to note that they are sold as single units so you will need two .

Carbon Fiber: parts.miniofkennesaw.com/oem-...
This is not the tuning kit. This is only the exhaust kit, and it is all you need for the GP3.
The 3D printed remote control holder I used was created by Christos Goulas. He is in Greece but shipping from him is very fast. I received mine in 4 days (Florida, USA). However, shipping will depend on your location. The link below is where you can purchase:

I loved how u explained it. Great job!!
My JCW exhaust was just delivered yesterday. Going to tackle this on Sunday. Thank you for the video.
Where did you order it?
Coo per, Thank you for the excellent installation video. It was a great help during the installation of the JCW Tune Kit on my 2021 Mini Cooper S Convertible. Although a little pricey, I am very happy with the sound and performance.
Dude this is huge - Thank you!
Just picked up my GP3 # 2797 , great video & I just ordered the exhaust as well , thank you for the details ! 🙌🏼
***Update*** Installed the JCW Pro Exhaust & it sounds great but took it to the next level & removed my Cat ! Now the GP3 sounds even better at every RPM especially between shifts !
@Freddie Pinuelas Which downpipe did you use for the GP3? Thanks
@@TheHazester did not change the down pipe , installed the same exact exhaust in vid just removed the cat. Also installed an Eventuri intake as a supporting mod.
@Freddie Pinuelas ahh, I also have the JCW pro exhaust & V intake on my GP3. Never thought of just removing the cat. I was looking into the Milltek with the 200 cell. Did you get it tuned?
@Freddie Pinuelas ua-cam.com/video/muAe2MaZREg/v-deo.html
He’s got the Milltek DP not sure which one
That they same backing tune project farm uses?
Very good video, another video showcasing the Sound more would be very appreciated. (Cold start, Warm Start, Flyby, Downshifts, Upshifts, Lift Off)
I am working on that - will post it soon
More driving videos please😍greets from germany
I am working on that - will post it soon
This is awesome! Thanks for making the video! I wonder if the JCW Pro exhaust impacts the power output of the engine. I say this because the midpipe of the JCW Pro exhaust did look like it was of a smaller diameter than the midpipe of the stock GP3 exhaust.
There is no resonator on the Pro exhaust and the Pipes are all the EXACT same size.
does this fit on a JCW 2015?
Sorry, can you help me ?
I talk you from spain, we have jcw facelift with gpf like gp3
Do you need remap ecu to gpf delete?
Or this exhaust have gpf replacement like original? Do you lost the guarantee?
Thanks
Thank you for such a great info. How long have it taken?
Took about 3 hours to install
I just picked up my GP3 last week, and the exhaust was one of the few underwhelming things about the car. So, I'm happy to see that you're able to install the JCW Pro Exhaust onto it. Do you get the same popping sound that happens on the other F56s?
I also want to know this
Not all the time. If you lift off under boost it will give you crackles!
Hey nice job on the video. I have GP 1395 and am very curious if you find any difference in power with the pro-exhaust. I am a little disappointed in the sound of the stock GP exhaust but assumed it was just not broken in yet (I only have 400 miles).
I cant say if there is more power by the seat of the pants dyno, the sound is better, but it is still not loud. I am like you I would really like a little more pop & burble from the exhaust.
I have 2502 with 1400ish miles so far, the tone has got a bit louder since delivery but I'm still disappointed .
hi, thanks for sharing the video. i purchased F54 Clubman. the Bluetooth controller did not come with the car so I got new one. i can not pair controller with reciver. i checked, every single wire, everything is as per manual instruction. there is an electricty output from fuse box to the reciver but reciver doesn't give any signs. i got spare one and it's the same so i doubt both are broken.
does the tiny led light flashes anytime in your reciver ?

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
I'm trying to get this exhaust for my 2021 F56 JCW. But the dealer keeps telling me that they didn't make this exhaust for my car model. I told them that any exhaust of an F56 year model will fit in my car and they wouldn't believe that.
After a lot of talking they tried to shut me up by telling me that they can't order a part if the chassis number doesn't show on their system that it has this part that I'm talking about. What should I do?
I asked if i can use any chassis number of an F56 2018 year model in order for them to even be able to order it. Furthermore, they warned me that the car differs entirely from market to market (for example, US f56 is different from UK F56 and also different from any of the same car of any other region.
It's really frustrating
Hello. Thanks so much for you posting this video. I was just at the dealership and enquired about getting the exhaust fitted to my GP3 . They said that the jcw pro was smaller so a weld would have to be maid and then they could do the rest (wiring). I'm guessing they were wrong. And you can use the original clamp. Please let me know.
The are 100% wrong I did that work without a welder and the pipes are all the exact same size and diameter. it is a straight bolt in, I did it in my parking lot with basic hand tools.
@@ccooper2654 Awesome I figured they were Bullshiting me. Thank you so much. They also told me I couldn't put a oh shit handle on it which they were wrong. I did that in 2 seconds.
Good to know. This means there should be no issues fitting this to a 2021 JCW.
Yes
@@SerchPrado and there was no issues! I did it! Made a few videos about it too!
Can the JCW Pro Exhaust be installed into a 2021 JCW Mini? The dealership doesnt no longer sells nor install the exhaust.
I assume it will, being the GP3 exhaust has the OPF filter on it as does the JCWs now, my only concern is would it fail MOT without the OPF?
Do you know where I can buy the flap motor power wire?
I have the jcw pro system on my f56 but my wire is cut unfortunately and my flap does not work anymore.
Can you just use a butt connector or solder the wire? I would think the dealer will sell you a harness, but it will be the whole harness.
Can you give more details of the installation in the fuse box? I'm going to install mine tomorrow and I'm in doubt? Is it to connect the wires on the back of the fuse box? The wire to connect to the fuse box is without the connector, plug, plastic, I don't know if it's this way or the plug is missing. fact is that it has two bare ends without the plug, a red wire and a black wire, I bought used exhaust.
Last question how did you pass the wire to the front of the vehicle?
Thanks from Brazil.
Yes there should of been a brass connection on the end that goes to the fuse panel - so who ever removed it from the other car, cut the wire.
To get the wire from front to rear I removed the trim panels and followed factory wiring routes
@@ccooper2654 It is to connect the fuse from the back and connect from the front to the fuse box using Fuse 3A and mini fuse 3A. do you have to connect from both sides?
Hello, whats the difference between te tuning kit and the exhaust kit? I have and jcw and ordered the tuning kit
Tuning kit cost more as it includes the tuning disk and code, the exhaust kit is cheaper as it is just the exhaust kit (no JCW tune). If you car is already a JCW you will be able to go ahead and sell the Tuning CD and Code Key to someone that wants to put a JCW tune on a non-JCW (MINI Cooper S) car.
Hi mate, wanted to see if there was any drone at all if you were just doing a motorway drive and shut the valve. :)
Cheers
Hey Buddy, how did you remove the blue tab from the Fuse box to insert the wire in? I've tried everything and I can slide that thing out. Thank you
You have to pull it from the end of the fuse box and put it back when done to hold the connector
@@ccooper2654 got it done. Thank you very much.
I just installed on my 2019 jcw the pro exhaust but they left the gpf filter. So again no pops and bangs. Do you believe removing the filter will help having pops and bangs ? I am also afraid that removing the filter will make the car very loud even with the flap closed (having also droning). What is your opinion ?
I am not too sure on the 2019 if you will get the Pop and Bang - on my Wife's 2017 it does, but here in the US we dont have the GPF - I would ask on the groups if other 2019 get the P&B, is your car a JCW?
@@ccooper2654 It is a jcw. Now I have installed the pro exhaust with the gpf filter on it. I have the option to remove it but I do not know if I will have the pops and bangs ... On the gp3 you have them with the pro exhaust ?
@@techgeeks1009 - Yes I have the Pro Exhaust on my GP3 (no P&B) and and I also have the Pro on my Wife's 2017 F57 JCW - (see my other videos for sound files). The GP3 does not P&B the 2017 JCW does (a lot). Neither one has a GPF but here in the US we dont get them from the factory.
No warning lights for the PPF (GPF)?
No warning lights - but I am not sure if we got that filter in the US.
No - not sure if the US cars have that or not.
@@ccooper2654 by the look of your old GP exhaust, it did have the OPF filter; like my UK JCW does, although I could be wrong
@@AverageJoeGamer636 - no it seems the US spec cars do not have OPF
I've got a jcw f56. Could I just buy the Pro exhaust or would I need the tuning kit also?
No you dont want the tuning kit you want the exhaust kit, the tuning kit it for non-jcw MINIs to make them into JCWs.
@@ccooper2654 brilliant thanks 👍
Such a shame the exhaust stock is not as loud
Does your GP3 have an OPF?
No US models dont have the OPF
@@ccooper2654 The JCW Pro should also work with an OPF, right?
@@user-vj5lj4yw2b I could not answer that as my GP3 does not have it but maybe someone from the UK that did this mod could answer this question
I thought all GP3s were 2020 model year cars?
They were supposed to be - then COVID - and they became 2021's as the plant was closed for like 6 months.
@@ccooper2654 ok thanks... I ordered a 2021 JCW 6 speed 2 door hardtop in Sept. and took delivery in November. The dealer had 4 left over GP3s from Covid buyers who couldn't follow through. They were all 2020. They still have one today, and I'm thinking about trying to trade in my JCW for it because there is no pops and bangs on the '21 JCW at all. Still trying to figure out the whole GPF, ECU tune, JCW Pro exhaust, mystery as it seems some 2021 USA cars have the GPF and some don't (and have over-run burbles just fine). Not saying the GP3 will have burbles either, but at least no Rev hang! They ruined the manuals!
