Sports Cat' question.

[Brian Lacey]

Now this might sound to be a bit of an odd question but bear with me and all will make sense.
I have a 2015 BMW Active Tourer F45 225i Xdrive and want to replace the oem cat' with a Sports cat'. After numerous emails/enquiries etc the only Sports cat listed for my car is made in Italy and costs over £2000, so I won't be getting one of those !
However, using the Realoem website it would appear that the oem cat' listed for my car - 18327634641 - is also used in the MINI range. The 'MINI F56 JCW Engine-side catalytic converter' is this same one, along with some other applications in the Mini range.
So, finally onto the question. Does anyone know if there is a Sports cat available that will fit any of these ....

MINI F56   (06/2014 — 06/2019)
MINI Clubman F54   (11/2014 — 07/2019)
MINI Cabrio F57   (05/2015 — 06/2019)
MINI Countryman F60   (11/2015 — 06/2019)

If these oem cats' fit both Mini and Active Tourer then if a Mini Sports Cat' is available I should be able to use that ( ???)
I could have a cut and weld jobbie done with a generic sports can but really want a like for like bolt on part.

So, to save on resending emails with Mini instead of Active Tourer can anyone help me ?

Many Thanks
Brian.

Have a look here (other suppliers like Evolve are available) :-

These are downpipes with the cat included. I have an Acrapovic 100 cell cat downpipe on my R58. The above are for F56. I have no idea if these are suitable for your BMW though. Some investigation should help answer that though. Good luck
