JCW Stage 2 Exhaust on Stock Cooper S - pic and video
Well I purchased a JCW stage 2 exhaust muffler and got it fitted to my stock Coooper S.
WOW this thing sounds freaking wicked ... heaps of character.
The fitment isn't a 100% direct bolt on as the stage 2 JCW factory exhaust has a different mide resonator pipe and the muffler pipe work is angled slightly differently - but it can work with the stock Cooper S mid resonator pipe - needs a bit of tweaking and adjustments to the heat shield - otherwise it fits and works PERFECT !!

Yep - located in Auckland, New Zealand. Our factory JCW car isn't released yet - Early October, but there's already one floating around Auckland - pepper white one. I've seen the car but never heard it start up.

The only difference is the inlet pipe work is bent differently - it bends upwards rather than to the side - and the outlet is lot larger than the OEM system with nicer built in exhaust tips - hence the noise difference.
The noise maker is actually from the right tip (the burble and crackle) - the left tip is really muffed in terms of its sound cancellation (if you look inside both tips you'll see how it's resonated differently) - we covered the right tip and the muffler was almost silent ... but when you just cover the left tip you can hear it crackle and burble away.
