So what do you guys think? I think it sounds nice and aggressive with the windows down and more civilized with them rolled up.
In the 3rd video at the end you can hear me saying that I spilled soda all over myself. It was just a bit after all. But hearing that again gave me a good LOL.

it's only loud when you get on it
it's not bad at all for normal everyday driving

If im not mistaken, its a resonator delete and catless downpipe with his factory JCW exhaust, so the muffler is still the raspy factory jcw's muffler.
Achilles: If it helps, at one point I actually swapped my JCW factory muffler with a magnaflow (the one everybody talks about on these forums) and although it sounded mean at WOT, it droned a LOT and highway driving + the 2-3k rpm range was unbearable. it was too tame/annoying so I ended up putting my JCW factory muffler back on with the resonator delete + catless setup for a sportier note. hope that helps

I'll report back on what it's like with the RR catless DP, no resonator and a Magnaflow. I won't be until Jan or Feb though, after I get my inspection done so it will pass.

like I said, at full throttle it sounded pretty damn aggressive in a great way. but for normal driving it was more drone than tone. In my personal opinion, I just felt like the magnaflow was muffling the sound too much for my liking and on top of that it was a loud muffled sound being that it was catless and no resonator. Very one tone sounding during normal driving but the jcw muffler gives the sound a bit more character which is the main reason why I went back. if you want more details PM me, I just don't want to ruin/hijack BigMiniAl's thread.

I'm with you on that one. I think the factory JCW exhaust is fantastic and with the catless dp and res. delete it sounds down-right mean. I don't think I'll be changing my exhaust anytime soon; every time I drive my car I get a huge grin on my face from the aggressive sound. Anywho, great looking mini Al. Cheers!
