Stock r60 jcw exhaust resonator delete

Anybody done it? I want more pops, but I do seasonal work so I drive very long distances often. Drone is not so fun on a 12 hr drive. I can only find sound clips for Cooper's online and I'm hesitant to start cutting until I know it's worth it.

Thanks for linking. I've always wanted a bit more sound out of our R61 JCW but not quite badly enough to buy an axle-back. This might be a nice way to do it (that is, if my wife doesn't trade it for an SE this summer).

I need to show this quote to my wife. We just bought an R53 last week and the first time she heard it burble she turned on me. "What did you DO!?!"

(She thought I was already trying to make it sound like my Abarth and wouldn't believe me that I hadn't touched anything...yet.) I guess I should be flattered that she thinks I work that fast.
