Had one of ^ fitted this week. My mods are as per my sig but in terms of the exhaust its: Janspeed manifold/header, Janspeed sports cat, Straight centre section, JCM UK Challenge back boxes.

Didnt gain any peak power/torque from changing but the tone is much changed. Think all the properties of the JCW cat back but more - louder and deeper !!

Dyno run done on a mustangs dyno, ~23deg C ambients.

Interested to hear peoples thoughts...

 

that sounds real nice!

 

Sounds somewhat similar to my JCW exhaust with the RMW header

Cheers guys

The video doesnt do it justice.... it really is awesome ! :D Full chat blasts are immense... That video was literally minutes after it was fitted, but now that its been on a few days the sound has settled down a little. Not as raspy but still very pleasant :D

 

Gave the tips a good polish up, looking good

 

Gotta love hammering it through tunnels!

 

Even without tunnels its pretty awesome - have a short section near my parents house which is keeping me amused at the moment but I need a trip down to London for some better tunnels

 

Videeeoooooo!!!
Pleeeeeaassse!!!

 

Off to Brands Hatch tomorrow, will take a few pics and hopefully try to get a video....

 

Sounds Sweet

 

No video from my trip to brands Im affraid but going through the dartford tunnel on the way back it put a Monaro to shame that was following me Sound is nice now than in the dyno run video above - its now less raspy....
:D

 

Got some videos done today mate, hope you like them

 

 

Notice the pops on the upshift on the last video :D :D :D

 

I must say that is the exact sound that I am looking for in a MINI! It sounds so sick... props to you!

 

Thats amazing how close our exhausts sound!!! I think they sound great, but I'm biased!!

This one sound sick!

I love it!

 

Thanks for the comments guys - it really does sound even better than on the videos... the GF (she was taking the vids) said that you could hear the car for far longer than the videos show, too much wind meant the (poor) camera was only hearing the wind noise not the exhaust....


It pops very well too - mid revs, hold the throttle then back off and without fail it will pop on cue... very cool

Unfortunately the car is now up for sale :( Change or circumstances has forced me to move the car on so just as Ive got it to the spec I wanted Im having to strip it down and sell off...

If anyone is interested in the JCM exhaust drop me a PM - I may be able to ship to the US as its a 2 piece so can be 'collapsed' for cheaper transport/shipping.....

Shame

 

Wow, that sounds nice. Many people I meet like the sound of their JCW exhaust but with the header sounds mean. Very nice

 

Thanks

Just to confirm that exhaust in the video is the JCM (not JCW) while the header is the Janspeed item.
