Drivetrain JCW PRO Exhaust
#26
Thats JCW Pro exhaust looks awesome on the F56 JCW, well done. Thanks for the side by side. I like how the new JCW factory exhaust has a separate tip.

Yea, did the dealership split one up, last time we tried to order it by itself , it was blocked by MINI.

As for what to do with the stock JCW exhaust I'd keep it....never know, might want it in the future....besides, I never throw anything away...LOL!

Most likely they are the same as the JCW PRO exhaust fits both. Here is a link to a site with some information about it. But, there is no tune required as far as I know.

The jcw exhaust is not the same as the mcs exhaust; the the tube diameter is larger, and I am interested in getting one, see the downpipe on the the two cars are the same, I believe 76 mm, and both exhaust use a 76 mm connection, while jcw stays 76 mm, the mcs shrinks to 64 mm. And yes, this really only has the effect of making the exhaust sound better.

As you stated, it's a direct bolt on between the two cars. I gave mine to a mechanic at the mini dealership to put on his wifes S after I bought the AWE tuning exhaust. Apparently it is louder than the S exhaust. The JCW stock exhaust diameter starts at 2.75", but does get flattened out to 2.5" at the crossmember.

You're completely right, I had my mm/inch conversion wrong inch my head, either way, JCW exhaust diameter > MCS exhaust, which is why I would love to pick one up especially if people are just throwing them away.

"You don't want the Sports Exhaust. You want the Tuner Kit. It's got the JCW adjustable exhaust with a bluetooth remote....AND AN ECU TUNING THAT ADDS 30 HP TO YOUR CAR."
My S now has as much horsepower as the previous gen JcW and my choice between resonably quiet exhaust ... or with a double-click of my blue tooth remote, all the pops and crackles of a track car. And the 30 hp boost isn't limited to the opened exhaust. It's there with the quiet mode as well.

JCW Pro exhaust or not
So this is where I see the issue with the pro exhaust. Running non track you only are using one exhaust port and miss out on the harmonic resonance of the dual ported exhaust you get with the MCS exhaust.
I actually like the sound of the MCS exhaust, want to keep my warrantee and want the tune from the kit. Hmmm wish they would give us more configuration options...lol mini not providing more configuration options...

Heard some guys with factory JCW purchased jcw pro exhaust for the Bluetooth ability/awesomeness. They in turn did not need the tune since they are already jcw tuned. The code and ability to tune for that exhaust may be accessible if you find the right people. Let's say an independent shop that's able to program and use bmw software/hardware. So I've heard.
