JCW Pro exhaust question.

I purchased a jcw pro exhaust for my 2017 f56 jcw. However I forgot to order tips (which ill get soon) however this Saturday I have access to a heated garage with a lift and my only free day. Would I be ok putting the exhaust on without the tips for a few days? (Itll look goofy I know) Or would I run into issues like melting my bumper or anything the like. Also could I use the regular jcw tips off my original exhaust in the interim, would they fit? Thanks.

Should be ok without the tips as the exhaust doesn't touch the bumper

If you have the ability to install the exhaust I am sure you hooked it up correctly. Yet, you might want to check again...

No code errors? Is the switch on the low? [maybe stuck in the middle?]

Worse scenario is to exchange it for another one.

correct i have no CELs and I don't believe that maybe its stuck in the middle i will look again though and yes its on the low setting. maybe I'll also flick it to high and see if i can notice anything. is the difference with the tuner night and day? or is it something that I should kinda notice a little?

There is NO DOUBT you should feel it from the first mile. Of course getting better with time...

Be careful with the high setting while on 93 Octane as the JCW has a pretty high already compression.
That is what I was told anyhow as we only have 91 Octane here. I have never tried the 100 Octane setting... I would not want to get used to that! The stock suspension is already at its limit on the low setting even with the Cravenspeed Big Pair and the NM Engineering engine tie bar [which however both have helped...]

You see, once you start... there is no ending! I will however not change the suspension any further.

* Maybe push the connections also a bit harder together.
