Difference between factory S and factory JCW exhausts?
Some local person is selling his factory JCW exhaust (midpipe and muffler) because he put on an aftermarket one. I have a CMS and want a throatier exhaust sound. What's the difference between both factory midpipes/mufflers? Would installing the factory JCW exhaust on my CMS actually make any difference in sound?

i installed the jcw midpipe and exhaust on my s shortly after i got it and was very happy with the tone change. the only small drawback is a minor drone from it at highway speed. other than that it's a big improvement from what i can recall my original exhaust sounding like. search the forum i think mrs pro did a comparison video a few years back so you can hear the difference.

I'm actually referring to the factory JCW exhaust, the midpipe for which has a cat and resonator. This midpipe is actually welded to the muffler. This version comes on all factory JCW R60s.

The sound will change a bit when you put it in sport mode also.

I went from factory S exhaust to factory JCW exhaust and it definitely made a difference. The pops are like whip cracks now and it does it every time you downshift or let off the gas. It has a nice low burble sound to it at idle also. A little extra noise in the cabin but I like it. I pretty much always drive in sport mode .

The sounds and the looks ( i like the larger solid tips ) are the biggest changes.
