resonator delete x2

First mod on my 2008 Clubman S deleted the hot side intercooler muffler. Cost $6.99 Second mod remove the 2nd cat and resonator. Cost $60.

Verdict: just do it. for $66.99 i don't know any other mod that will make as big a difference. Definitely screams to 5k rpm faster. Don't get me wrong, it ain't going to make it a race car, but it's nice.

There is absolutely no drone, sounds just about the same at idle but growls when you put your foot in it.

The exhaust pipe was 2.25 same as the rest of the stock exhaust. I had an exhaust shop do it. I'll work on anything but i don't weld and i wanted it nice. I'll snap a picture of the exhaust once my wife brings the car back, lol. I'll try a sound clip too, but unfortunately i don't have one from the stock system to compare for you.

it's not much louder but definitely deeper.

Best cheap exhaust mod you can do on a budget.. Gets deeper with time, I also added some resonated tips for extra bang in sport mode!!
