2006 mc w/ jcw sound kit questions

Hello I have an 06 mini cooper non s with the jcw sound kit and I was looking for an opinion from any one who might have done this or knows how it would sound if I were to remove the resonator, I have seen some minis that sound fantastic with this done and some that sound too ricey with it so I was wondering if the different engines like the n18 or whatever it is would be any different than mine
This is exactly what I want it to sound like

The JCW Sound kit does sound really nice stock ( for the Justa Cooper ). It has a little resonator , don't know what the sound would be if you did cut it out. Possible a little louder, but don't now about the drone. Its a single exhaust pipe. As the sound kit ages, the sound of the exhaust gets better.



Good luck.

Good luck.
But if I were to remove it and end up not liking it, it would be easy to put back in wouldn't it?
