Plus should have mentioned, I already have the JCW exhaust on my JCW, am just looking at improving little things here and there, the exhaust could do with a little more growl.

i know a chap that removed the pre silencer in the mid pipe of the JCW and ran a GTT cat, the JCW exhaust is more raspy when tweaked as such, the millteck is more of a burble and for properly growl and burble you really need a borla or magnaflow

A-ha, I see.

I didn’t realise my JCW went into the right silencer and then to the left before the tail-pipes, just assumed it split to both and then re-joined again (if that makes sense), obviously I need to look under the car (I’ve only had it a week!!).

JCW splits and uses both boxes in parallel and then exits via 2 separate tail pipes - you can not ''one ball'' a JCW

Phew, thanks, was just on the GTT site looking at ordering one!!!

So what’s the next thing to do to a JCW then?

Thanks, Mark.

sorry should have been more specific the pre silencer is on the mid pipe that runs from the cat to the back boxes before they split

Also known as the resonator box - on early JCW this is a separate piece and can be easily removed. On late cars it is welded section all the way from the cat back through the resonator and including the back boxes - it can be cut out and replaced as is done with the JCM 4/2/1 manifold and sports cat installation

[James@fomsport]

been a while since i talked jcw so couldnt remember what years it changed, and ive been talking to mechanics all week who call it a pre silencer

Edit O/T Alan did you get my message about the movits, i finally made sense of the catalog and options they offer

Mark, have you done anything to your JCW exhaust yet? Removed resonator like Snowie said?

Hi Snowie,

Do you know where I may be able to get this done? Would Tony Franks at the Mini Motorsport center do it do you know?

Cheers

I’ve kinda put messing with the car on hold for a bit, because I have recently just passed my motorbike test and have just bought a Ducati Monster so have been tinkering with that – had some carbon Termignoni exhausts put on – very loud!!!!!!!!

Plus in truth the JCW is a fantastic little car as it is and the wife loves it, so we have both got our toys now.

Slight money issues this month, but will contact him again in October!

Im a bit late on this thread i know, but if i were you i would go for the JCW Motorsport 4-2-1 manifold as that will give you more mid range grunt than a 4-1 such as the Janspeed etc, than go for the Miltek cat back, this will be one hell of a system that im seriously thinking of changing to in the future.

I have a JanSpeed cat back on my MCS sound good but is very shouty with a de-cat!

[patsf1]

where can i buy a jcw motorsport manifold any body got any pics of one?? i cant find them anywhere lol prices aswell cheers
