performance exhaust WHICH ONE?

Hi Folks, just got my clubbie 2 months ago, damn can't stop driving it 3,289 yikes!
i've been looking around the net for a exhaust system, Borla, Magnaflow, JCW.
Well, have any of you made the change, please give me some feed back if you can!
I'm not looking for a LOUD DRONE...........
Pepper White Clubman S, A/T premium pkg., chrome pkg.,cold weather pkg.,bluetooth /audio pkg.,custom bonnet stripes.

Thanks, Johnny

I have a brand new ALTA for sale that I need gone. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...t/8492/cat/500

Can't tell you what I think of it, other than what quality I see.

I'm very happy with my Alta Cat-back, NO drone! I also have the down pipe waiting to be installed.

That's a great deal from LilRed too!

Haven't heard any of the others but I have the JCW and I think it sounds great. No drone and very civilized until you stomp on it, then it sounds mean!

Hi guys, thanks for the help!
I work at a MB dealer, the Mini store is just down the road, I'll check out the cost of the JCW system. I was leaning towards the Magnaflow unit @ 763.00 with free shipping, but when I called the Company they were a bit evasive with the DRONE issue!
If anybody has any other ideas bring them on.
Happy Holidays,Johnny

I cannot tell you from experience, but have heard good things about the ALTA system. They claim there is NO Drone. I don't believe you could go wrong here.

They are offering 20% off right now Original Price 999.00 with the 20% 799.00

I'd be willing to sell just my cat-back if someone wants it. Like the link says, it's all brand new. I just need it gone, at least some of it. I'd just keep the DP if someone didn't want the whole system.

If you want just a bit more sound, you can do what I did and cut out the resonator. It makes the stock sound a bit louder, and better IMO. Contrary to the name, this does not cause more resonance either, I would know cause I drive almost 300 miles on the hwy round trip every weekend. At first it did nothing, and was a little upset I wasted my time and $30 to get it done, but it opens up the exhaust more at cold start, and when the turbo kicks in. I highly recommend it for someone look for a budget mod, and likes to hear their motor more than stock.

If that's loud, you better stick to stock! lol My stock exhaust sounds louder than that.
