Hi

I assume you are on about the John Cooper Works exhaust?

I know there is a difference between the pre facelift and the facelift model but I think the way you tell is that the facelift JCW exhaust has a flat section just before the exhaust section splits and goes to both back boxes.

The pre facelift exhaust is cylindrical all the way to where the pipe splits off to both back boxes.

Maybe some other members can add to this or back it up

(I think there are both types on ebay at the moment, facelift one is more expensive on the bids at the moment I think)

Regards

James

I am talking about the standard exhaust, i had heard they were different, just want to know if I am wrong or not?

Different are the brackets for it on the end (where the silencer is). For the other I am not sure. So if is the different just in this, so the exhaust is the same.
