R60 JCW Countryman Muffler Delete

It took me a while to figure out how to post the video...
Basically American Muffler in San Diego suggested I just remove the muffler and not touch anything else. A custom Y-pipe was fabricated to split the exhaust into the factory tailpipes attached to the rear valance. Then painted it all black heat paint to make it not so bright. I think it is exactly what I was looking for and it really sounds good once warmed up without being loud and obnoxious. BTW, it cost only $200 and took about 2 hours from start to finish. Thanks in advance for the opinions.

I felt the same way... I had no burble or anything resembling a JCW Countryman so I got it done. Where are you located?
This was my quick fix in getting the sound I wanted. I am also looking at the VIP Exhaust just because of the solid build quality and it is made especially for the JCW Countryman.

I didn't remove/substitute anything except the muffler with a custom made Y-pipe.
I am almost sold on the VIP exhaust made specifically for the JCW Countryman. I made some calls and now just waiting on my account to build back up after the suspension work/parts.
It will get done shortly along with an aftermarket intake.
