Any thoughts on sound difference between just a muffler delete vs the $2000 JCW Pro Exhaust? I know the JCW pro exhaust comes with a tune, but the main thing I am interested in is sound. I have deleted my muffler for $150 and put on chrome split tips on my 2019 MCS F 57. Looks good, has a bit of a drone at highway speeds, so considering going with the JCW pro exhaust so I can “switch on” the muffler when I get tired of the drone.

 

The jcw exhaust is available for purchase for about $900 from the dealership without the tune. Save yourself the trouble and go with the valved exhaust. You’ll be happy you did.

 

I have the Remus valved exhaust w/o the resonator on my car. IF you just took out the muffler then going with something like the Remus also takes out the 2nd cat/resonator as it's catback. I agree that a valve is great to have since you can quiet the car down when you want to. If the JCW just changes the muffler and leaves the cats then I would imagine it would sound very similar to the muffler delete but you lose the option to quiet it down.
