I have had my JCW Sound kit for about 4 months now and love it. The exhaust note is great. However, I have noticed a lot of other 'sound kiters' saying that their air intake makes a great sound. I can't really here anything.

If I blip the throttle while standing half outside my MINI I can here a slight suction noise. But I can't hear anything inside my MINI. Am I missing out on somthing?

I think its called soundproofing

I`ve got the JCW airbox, but other than a bit of supercharger whine, I cant hear anything either
...not that I`d want to

u've probably been listening to ppl with induction kits on there MCSs. The supercharger whine becomes a lot louder, whereas on a naturally aspirated car u'll get a slight suction noise and a deeper tone when you put ur foot down

stand out side the car and give it some serious throttle, you really need more than half throttle to get induction roar, you shud hear it then

On my Cooper with K&N Typhoon induction kit, it's very noticeable, although not intrusive, when you put your foot down and get above 4k revs.

I have a direct comparison of my MCS JCW210 and my girlfriend's MC Park Lane JCW. The Cooper does sound far better, especieally the exhaust. I did have my MCS on a rolling road at the rev limit (7200??) in 4th, it showed 215 -218 bhp at the front wheels and was ****ing loud! (more the s/c, rather than induction roar). The only thing, which I think could be improved would be the exhaust note, as long as that doesn't take away the "poppling"....................

On forced induction vehicles induction kits tend to not have the sucking that NA engines have. My old minis were louder for induction roar running K&N filters onto webber twinchoke 38/40's than any of the S's I have heard so far. The increased charger noise drowning out the induction is the most obvious reason I can think of. From inside the cabin this will be even more appreciated as the soundproofing will stop the increased suck to a degree and then the dominating charger noise drowns whats left.

SimonSyddall - From what I have heard of aftermarket exhausts like the milltek both with and without sports manifold the popping only gets deeper and better check this link out! 1st is without a sports cat/manifold and the second is with a non stock manifold/cat
