Ordered my JCW Stage 1...

So today I had a need for a few more hp. I stopped in at MINI and ordered my JCW Stage 1. I hope it's here Monday to be my birthday present.
I bought my 09 MCSCa last Thursday 11-18, had it tinted yesterday 11-22, now waiting for extra boost...

I usually can't leave cars alone. The last one I put a supercharger on and went from 425hp to 630hp. Yes a little much to go get groceries but fun none the less.

Old

2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 6-speed B5 Blue. Installed Procharger D1SC after 1000 miles. Went from 425hp to 630hp at the crank. Dynoed 537hp and 502ft-lb at the rear wheel.

Your Mini will never pull as hard as your Dodge. My Primary vehicle is a SRT Charger. But My Charger will never handle like my Mini or get the same gas mileage. . Its cool having the best of both worlds.

The JCW toys came in this morning. I'm driving a loaner Clubman S 6-speed for the time being. I should have my car back soon...

So the dealer can't program my car, it's been there since 10am EST. They said the problem is on the other side. They are going to try it again tonight and if it fails will try in the morning.
Now I'm stuck driving a loaner with dealer logos and huge numbers on the side.

My dealer had my 2008 MCs for 2 1/2 days doing the install. They had to first do a full update to the ECU software, and then they had to flash the new JCW software. They said that process was the most time consuming part of the entire process. Just be patient, it's worth the wait

No such luck. They did swap out my loaner.
They can't get MINI in Ohio to generate off a code to push the new software to my car.
They will try again Monday.
The troubles have picked me up another 10% off. I got 20% to start with for the holiday special.
So $2100 minus 30% is looking better.

Done...

I just picked my car up this afternoon.
Yes, the extra money was worth every penny. Plus the 20% discount on the kit and 10% on the labor, have me extra $$$ in my pocket for my birthday today.
I have no drone at highway speeds. My noise is coming from the run flats.
I love the new intake sound and exhaust note.

Congratulations finally! Just curious, were you expecting a little pop, pop, pop from the exhaust upon deceleration based on watching videos of the exhaust like me? We don't get that, but I have a feeling once the exhaust has some miles on it that it may change it's tune a little

Exhaust

I have dual mufflers on my Clubman.

My old 02 S was like your, with the single muffler that has exits that wrap around the rear storage box. I installed a Milltek header and exhaust on my last MINI.
