Congratulations, Randy! We are indeed proud to have you join the ranks of the truly crappy as an honorary member. All you need to do is bolt on one piece of JCW crap to enjoy the privileges of full membership.

Sounds like there something more than porting manifolds going on here, if you know what I mean!


What exactly is this ^ ?

Well, of course it will vary quite a bit, depending on how crappy they are.

Ran to Krispy Kreame came home and turned on my monitor to see this crappy shot, and consequently I spilled my drink!

You'd think with all the money he's makin' from selling his crappy parts that he could have some decent dental work done. Maybe he should see my mom. Believe me it blows having a parent as a dentist!

Someone posted above that it looks like Mike needs to take a crap. I would argue that it looks like he was actually taking a crap at the moment this shot was taken. A bloody large one at that.

Honestly, last weekend, I went in to My Mini in Pompano FL, and said, "I guess I have to start buying some CRAP for my mini, now, don't I?"

Pete laughed and introduced himself to his new customer! Next time a see him I will ask for his craptalogue.

Oh...and I bought some crap for my car that is not JCW pkg crap.

I am removing the resonator also after I get the kit so that should be good for a couple!

BUT ABOVE ALL, I WANT MY CAR TO BE REFINED, SMOOTH, AND FEEL LIKE A JCW STOCK BUT WITH SOME MORE KICK!

Any more?

Crap jokes aside. I agree with Randy. Exhaust Manifold (aka Header) is where alot of power can be had. Also, new ECU software will give you a bit more kick too. If you're near the Houston area, or can get here, I've got one hell of a deal going on both.

(edit)
I just noticed you're in Indiana. I've driven to Indiana (F-1 Debacle) from Houston and back, and would never willingly wish that upon anyone. 20 Hours is a long drive.

tradiuz,
I just went to your website and a simple exhuast manifold can bring me up to 210hp? So if I had a JCW kit plus this that means I would have like...250hp?!!

Also is there any exhuast sound difference if I put this on?
