So I love my JCW and its Pro exhaust, makes the car >:D

Even developed a little start up routine to try and compete with my neighbours sports bike collection.... especially when the manifold is still hot.....

Foot off brake and clutch, press start button (engine doesnt start)
Select sport, open exhaust flap
then foot on brake/clutch and press start again..... VROOOMMMMMM...... Pops and bangs a treat!

Wife just tuts and shakes head from side to side, kids snigger away in the back....

I love the sound too. For me it's... Start Button> Sport Button> BT Fob. It's the only way I drive it. That's why my right side exhaust extension is black all the time. Makes me giggle too. Of course it's just to myself... don't need to have anyone call the law about the demented old man driving around town. :D

Unfortunately for my neighbours my bike is louder than the car is with the valve open and in sport.

After a week of hard running in the mountains the right pipe is darker than my rebel green paint on a cloudy day! A side note is the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's really held the road and did not show appreciable wear. They really surprised me with their grip on wet roads! Best all around driving tires I have ever owned.
