again, the sound that the WMW exhaust puts out all the time is consistantly better than the JCW catback....infact on my dad's car with the JCW stage 1 kit, he is thinking of removing it in-order to put on the WMW turbo back
Sounds good, but is it really that quiet in person? Sounds stronger than the Alta, but still seems pretty quiet, especially for a turbo back. Stupid turbo makes the exhaust so quiet, i'm begining to think that no exhaust on the R56 is going to please me in terms of sound .

I'm counting on you Jan....

like i said I'm at the mercey of a still camera and youtube...it really isnt, it's very nice...when it sits in idle it's decently close to the works car, but it will get loud when you want it too....everyone who has heard it "in-person" has been very impressed, i personally like the sound of this over the ALTA...WMW Turbo Back does not disappoint

They won't help a desk jockey like me, but they just might help the technician down the road who's installing them the day after tomorrow.

Point is... excellent customer service from WMW !!!

And thanks, Mishka, for helping me spend my money !
Always glad to help.

Way actually lives and does most operation out of Indianapolis, but he also has a shop in Atlanta....give his number a call, it's actually a cell number that you can always reach him at, no worries if you arent exactly close, with exception of installs..

I met Way when I was a member of MINICCI. First met him at his shop. He drove Kaw (the silver and Green Race Car) to a number of the club events. Great Guy!

Then there is the two back to Back Phil Wicks Series championships!

When I finally order Paddy, I will have Way put on my ALTA Goodies!

I'll give a 'ditto' to Way's customer service.

I had a rear swaybar installed a few years ago at the Dragon. A few thousand miles later, 2 bolts backed out and I lost a swaybar bushing while driving down the road. The rear swaybar was rattling around back there loose!

I called Way, who apoligized for the situation and immediately had a new set of bushings sent from the manufacturer. He couldn't fix the problem from 1000 miles away, but he did everything in his power to make it right.

I've got a few suppliers that I try to do business with when I need MINI parts... Way, OutMotoring and Texas Speedwerks are the tops in my book.

Glad to hear about the good experience. I have had some correspondence with Way, both thru PM and on the phone and he is very professional and a wealth of information. I plan to get a couple things done as soon as he has time - he is a very popular guy for good reason!

Happy motoring!
