JCW resonator?

I know a few folks are deleted / removed the center resonator from their JCW exhaust.

Anyone keep one they want to sell?

it pops wayyyy more

but after getting a ECU tune, it's died down a bit or say.. but still pops more than OEM JCW.

I like it but now i just want a bit more sound without going to headers and stuff. Anyone know what other modifications you can do to the JCW exhaust besides resonator delete to make a just a bit louder?

Outta curiosity, why do you want one? The majority of exhaust modders that I have seen posting indicate they do without a resonator. I'm thinking of removing mine along with installing Magnaflows, but my personal jury is still out (not clear to me how it'll sound with vice without a resonator).

I'm loving the resonator on my JCW system. Perfect sound for me. Ones mans sweet sound is another mans noise.

When the car is cold with out the resignator it sounds realy raspy (like a civic with a bad exhaust). On the other hand the car sounds amazing once it is warm, its a little louder and makes more poping sounds.

Sorry I have not replied sooner.

I want the resonator because its way to loud with the Mynes header. But I am also not running a cat.

Now that I have the JCW resonator in line its much more quiet under 4k
