I know this way sound a bit weird but how much for the cooper sound kit supllied and fitted without the JCW exhaust as i Have just upgraded my exhaust and was looking to up grade the air filter and ecu remap bit. if it is worth while i noticed that there is another deal for the JCW cooper air filter for £211. does this include the ECU remap so it knows when to open up the flap to get a decent sound coming into the car?

that air filter is for the S works not the cooper our one is only about 60 quid and adds another intake to that air box and a jcw pannel filter

Miniadventure12 has got the right airbox see link

http://www.mini2.com/forum/2602098-post1.html

As I understand this will give the soundkit noise without the remap as the flow of air opens the flap, not the remap. I doubt anyone will sell you the soundkit without the exhaust, or the remap on it's own though I'm afraid. could buy the complete soundkit and sell the one of your two exhausts.

Hi Chris:

Hope you can help me, even though I am from the Far East. Recently, I purchased the JCW Sound Kit from the local dealer, and upon uploading the new JCW SK Software, I realized the VIN number (within the ECU) has changed from WMWRC32040TG53099 to WBAAA00000TG53099. The new VIN is also reflected on the JCW Cert.

Is this the norm? or is it a case of accident/error at the local dealer?

Let me know if that is how you did it. Thanks for your help. Have a nice weekend.

Chris, did you manage to find anything for this? or is there an official BHP increase?

I'm looking to get this installed in March, assuming its still available and you still have the offer on, but finding a realistic insurance quote would benefit from this.

Cheers

Hi,
Sorry for the delay,
The answer from BMW is a power increase of between 3 and 5 bhp,
Hope this helps
Cheers

its only meant to be sound, not performance, thats why its called the sound kit, the 3-5bhp is simply a bi-product from changing the air filter and exhaust

Chris, just a question, do you think it can be fit on a ONE by BMW dealers? So when I'll ask my dealer i'll already have an idea on what answer I'm going to get...

Thanks for the reply...but I've read about ONE owners who had it fit on their car directly by dealers...which dealers are we talking about then, if BMW ones don't do it?

JCW Exhaust

Hi Chris

I have a face-lift 04 Cooper S and wondered if you can get the JCW Sports exhaust as a seperate item. If so how much fitted ?
