Eeerrr... for... better airflow in the engine... more efficient...>Thanks both, have been looking on YouTube but very difficult to tell how much louder it is in normal mode than standard, the wife needs to be OK with it and not think I'm 17 again! Really looking for an opinion of someone who has one fitted for feedback.
Admiral have asked for details of all parts that are fitted (dealer sent me screenshot), why I'm having the upgrade and percentage power increase! They are now speaking to the underwriters and will get back to me!
It is!Im the same, my only problem is finding insurance, the quotes I'm getting are stupid money, and i can't find any one in the UK who has the kit and will answer the insurance question. I think some people just insure them as standard MCS and take the risk, but i won't do that.
I am 33, 0 points, no accidents in the last 10 years. My premium at the moment is around £350pa for the MCS. Churchill UK will only insure increases in performance of 10% and i have found this to be the case for most of the main insurers. Got some quotes starting at £500pa with the upgrade JCW kit.
What i don't understand is if i had held on and got the stock JCW i could have get insurance easily starting at £385 but a MCS with the JCW kit that has less power is hard to insure and when you do find someone it is in excess of £500
Stupid isn't it!
I don't have one fitted myself, but I have driven one that had it. In normal, it sounds a little more aggressive than normal, about the same as JCW exhausts on other models - maybe a little less. I don't think it's obnoxious at all.Thanks both, have been looking on YouTube but very difficult to tell how much louder it is in normal mode than standard, the wife needs to be OK with it and not think I'm 17 again!

Looking forward to seeing your reply - I'm with Admiral and thinking about doing this too but have not looked at getting any quotes yet.Should hear back from Admiral tomorrow will give an update then. Anyone on here driven in one? How loud is it?!
