I see there is a part number for the John Cooper Works Intermediate Pipe. Has anyone installed just this and retained the use of the OEM muffler?

IIRC the intermediate pipe removes the 2nd cat and res. Since this part is an OEM pipe I shouldn't have too much trouble at the dealer when it goes in for work, or will it???

Thoughts and I'll get my ready

 

Which model are you referring to? Mine's R60SX (in Asia) and the JCW intermediate pipe does nothing for me (same diameter, same bends) as all R60SX in Asia only have a resonator up at the front and the pipe ends just after the resonator. I didn't delete the resonator and so far the sound has not been significantly different from before. Perhaps I need to run her in a tad bit more for the exhaust to open up.

 

I believe the JCW intermediate pipe in USA removes the resonator. IIRC it connects just after the 2nd cat and just before the muffler.

Looks like $25 of work from Midas

 

That is what I would try first.

If your are not happy with the result, You will just have to buy the JCW exhaust (800$ from the dealer). Total Savings= 300$
