******* WORTH IT ********

Had mine done over a year ago. Every time, still get that speedy-speedy fast-fast itch scratched... It's a quick lil' gnome.

BTW I'm a college student with enough money for bread and in my very spare dollars, when I could've "supposedly" gone for more bang for my buck, I went JCW haven't thought twice. I'm wholeheartedly convinced on it now.
Comparing numbers? FFFFFF NUMBERS!!! It feels perfect, and FREAKING FAST, numbers aren't everything, it's just as fast or better than a lot of aftermarket setups I've experienced; BMW / JCW really nailed it in seemlessly engineering more speed for us

The best part about the JCW package is the resale value. You get your money back with the JCW hardware on the car. The after market bits don't fare so well in the used car market.

I know the Stage 1 exhaust is louder when you get the RPMs up, but when it's below 3000 and you're around the city, is it any louder? I'm hoping not actually.

From my ears in the car, it is only slightly louder below 3000 rpm. If you lift, it also becomes boomy.
