Description Reviews MINI Cooper S Turbo Downpipe Clamp. This part is for the Cooper S only. Fits all Gen 3 F55, F54, F56, F57, F60. Exhaust clamps take a real beating on any car. They tend to rust because they are bare un-coated steel and often get very hot and cold many, many times. They also see all the dirtiness that is on the road surface.... water, mud, & snow... that all helps speed that rust up. If you're adding an exhaust system or taking off the downpipe to fix a leaking turbo oil line, more than likely you're going to need a new clamp. This is a good item to have on hand just in case you need it because you're not just going to run down the street to your local auto parts store and pick one up. Be ready, and do the job right the first time. Part Number 18-30-8-616-159 has changed to 18-30-5-A04-BD6. MINI OEM clamp with metal gasket already in place. MINI Torque spec is 18.4 ft. lbs. 2 Reviews 5 The right part Posted by DJ-Bruce Odyssey on 14th Aug 2023 Fast shipping and parts fits and performs perfectly 4 F56 Cooper S Vband Clamp Posted by Abel Quisno Sr. on 7th Sep 2021 A bit difficult to fit aftermarket downpipe but, after some finagling I finally got it to cinch up nice and tight. The exhaust gasket looks a little bit different than the factory gasket that was left on my catted downpipe after removal. I’m assuming the difference between the 2 gaskets is what created the initial difficulty with the installation.
