They do not have an ALL4 version available yet. that will work but you'll have to make a custom pipe to go around the rear diff. Waymotorworks site is incorrect. Someone else please tell them that because they didn't respond to me when I told them that. The picture is incorrect on the site as well. The picture is for the S model there is no ALL4 version out yet.

I wonder if the Remus exhaust works with the driving modes, or if you have to use the Bluetooth app to adjust. I like the factory integrated driving modes and would rather not have to use BT.

It will fit but it will need to be modified...it's not a direct fit / bolt on.

If you have a JCW NO modification it is a bolt on system

No it doesn't integrate into the MINI system, you will use the Remus controller.

YES they do have a JCW ALL 4 version. You are correct about the pic on our site as we use the standard F54 S pic because we don't have a JCW one here to take a pic of. But we note that at the bottom of the description as the JCW one will vary.
I have searched all my email and have no email from anyone or you asking about the picture or availability. As the JCW F54 and F60 system was just released back in November.

Any sound clips of the 0-10-40-100 exhaust notes? Drone issues?

Hi Waymotorworks... I (and a few friends i got to check it) can't open your webpage from Australia... not sure if that is intentional or not?

Just got the JCW Pro Exhaust Installed.

I don't see a whole lot of this exhaust on F60s. I just got it, so no real chance to REALLY try it out.

Looking at the JCW Pro exhaust, it appears to be the same as the JCW exhaust that comes with the tuning kit for the S. But since the kit doesn't have a separate part number for the exhaust, there's no way to tell if they're actually the same part. Is the exhaust flap now bluetooth controlled or is still done by the ECU? Was there any coding required when the shop installed it?

The flap is BT controlled. No coding required at the dealer.

Looks like the S kit has part number: 11122450143, but doesn't break out the exhaust part.
For the JCW, the part number is 18302450808, which is just the exhaust part, BT fob.

So IIRC, the stock exhaust has the flap controlled by the ECU, it interesting that they don't need to code any of that out. Do they reuse the existing wiring for the bluetooth controlled flap, like it's just plug and play with the same connector? On the S they have to run wiring for it.

Yeah, ETK doesn't have a part number for just the S tuning kit's exhaust, so I wonder what they do if you're rear ended and don't need the tune, just reorder the whole thing anyway?

My S arrived at the dealer on Friday and is getting the tuning kit installed during PDI before I pick it up, I'll see if it has a part number on the muffler somewhere to identify it.

They used the stock flap wire for the 'dummy flap' on the left side, and wired up the BT controlled flap on the right. Unfortunately, they used the fuse slot I was using for one of my dash cams, so I need to figure out which other fuse slot I can tap into so I don't have to choose one or the other (BT vs. dashcam). There is an etched/engraved part on the exhaust. I'll have to see if I can get a pic tomorrow.

Edit:

After reviewing the installation instructions, it does not appear that the stock flap wire is reused; at least it is not mentioned at all.

Hi everyone,

when the Remus exhaust is installed and in sport mode (valve open mode) is the exhaust note audible in the cabin or only when the windows are down?

I notice that the mini f60 countryman has a really well insulated Cabin and the stock exhaust is not really audible at all, even the pops in sports mode are very quiet inside the car...

How is the experience with the Remus ?

Also what is the drone experience?

Can't help you with the remus but I just installed the NM-Eng exhaust and it is DEFINITELY noticeable inside the cabin.

Only thing I have so far is the cold start comparison between oem and NM-Eng right after install.
As for inside, when you gun it, you definitely hear it roar and b-r-r-a-a-p between shifts. The cabin is so well insulated that you almost have to have the stereo off or at a really low volume to hear the pops on deceleration in sport mode. But that's not the exhaust's fault. Cruising at speed, whether on the highway or surface streets, it's quiet like stock when you are holding a steady rpm. That's always very important for me. Can't stand bassy drone.
I'm going to try to get some driveby's today, along with in-cabin. I'm also installing the AEM cold air intake.

thanks! Still debating what exhaust to get on my F48. like the F60, it is very well insulated, so really have to push the gas or drive with the windows down to hear the exhaust.

Any more recent experiences with NM? Anyone managed to fit the Remus or Dinan to an S All4?

from the few pics of the Remus out there it doesn’t look like it has the correct flange to bolt up to the factory Downpipe, but I could be wrong. Can anyone confirm?

running a JCW takeoff (not pro/tuning kit) right now with the flap pinned open.

looking for more growl/burble, but honestly could live without the pop-pop-pop fireworks sound.

thoughts??

I have the NM downpipe-back version on a 2019 JCW, it definitely pops on decel when in sport mode! I bet if you left the OEM mid-pipe on and only replace the very last section (the mufflers), it would settle the pops down a good bit...but, it's still going to pop, that's controlled by the ECU allowing the fuel in to the exhaust system on decel.

You could try it with the NM mid-pipe, and if it was too much pop for your taste, back up to the OEM mid-pipe. You'd have to step the OEM mid-pipe (I think it is a 2.75 diameter) up to the NM 3-inch diameter pipe, but, that's not hard to do.

I am also inquiring about this. I may end up going with the NM Eng version as it sounds nice and deep and doesn’t cost a ton. A Remus would be nice though. I just got my F60 in sage green and love it but want a bit more sound.

Does anyone know if Remus has an exhaust currently that will work with the 22 F60 S?
