Tuner File for MC '05 (non S) w/ JCW "sound kit"

Hey guys,

Well i may or may not install the "sound kit" on my '05 MC. I'm still doing research on the kit thats offered by JCW, so i was wondering, if i do install it and install the MTH tuner file, what's the outcome going to be like...great or meh could be better and tell me why, thanks for your patience.

I asked the same question a while back, and the answer was that it didn't matter - the Sound Kit is essentially a slightly free-er flowing exhaust, an intake with extra sound & a tweaked ECU - you're basically giving up whatever you're getting from the JCW tweaked ECU and getting the MTH tuner file for a car with a freed-up exhaust.

Hmm, great, so now the question is if it's worth getting the JCW "sound kit" for almost $1800 (canadian...with labor) or get the JCW exhaust for $1000 and JCW intake for $500 without the JCW ECU but end up getting the MTH tuner file...WOW! what to do? what to do?

This JCW stuff is driving me crazy! I'm going towards JCW because i just got the car and i don't want to void my warranty. But is it really worth it...so many things to think about, warranty, gain, satisfaction.

How bout this...i'm not getting anything and saving up for a MCS JCW!! HOW ABOUT THAT! GOOD FOR ME!

thanks for the reply mini552...
