Cheers to all. I am new to this forum. I reside in the greater Phoenix area, so we have HOT weather (all the time), not much rain, wide open spaces, mountain roads not far, and 3 nearby race tracks!

I just switched by daily driver / Trackday toy from from a 1996 Trans Am WS6 to a 2012 R58 JCW.

I lost 4.1 liters, ~250Hp to gain handling, braking and fuel efficiency!

Although my TA was a LOUD highly modified Beast, I will be much more careful on moding the JCW. First, I have a warranty that I have to safeguard, second, I want to keep it reliable.

That said...I already replaced the turbo resonator by a WMW resonator delete. That was easy!

Next on my list is the delete of the exhaust resonator....BUT...although I am looking forward to the "better" sound, I want to get some feedback (i.e. does it effect emissions ( codes?), any cons? any Pros?)

Anyway, as I started this intro. Cheers to all.

Protects those who mod their cars under warranty.

I have a 2013 MINI coupe thats putting out 245hp at the wheels and still have my warranty intact.

 

Welcome, some people cut out the center resonator on the JCW exhaust.

Let see some pics !

 

Welcome to NAM! it's August in AZ so that means 120 degree weather! whoo-hoo! I do not miss that. A lot of people with JCW's cut out the resonator for the sound. Any other mods you plan on doing?
