    The GP JCW exhaust is the same as the R53 factory JCW exhaust and is a fully welded one-piece system. Shipping would be very costly/difficult as it is about eight feet long and four feet wide. I was fortunate enough to find one locally and have been very happy with it.

    Good luck with the sale! :)

    The exhaust for sale was removed in two section, but done so that it could be retro-fitted in case the new exhaust was too loud. I was able to get the two pieces into my MINI when done.

    Blimey...if you are still interested, please email me at:

    Steve,

    Hey man, haven't seen you in a while. I'm sorely tempted, but it's just not in the cards. An emergency surgery on one of our dogs just put a serious dent in the budget.

    ...so what did you put on in its place?

    Bought by me.

    Big UPS boxes on the porch and trips to the powdercoater and an afternoon at the exhaust guru are in my future. Soon.

    Thanks Blimey and I will get it out as soon as possible so you can enjoy the burble.

    MINI2GO...I had a custom straight exhaust with a hight flow Magnaflow muffler installed.:devil: Its a good bit louder and lighter, still not as loud as Track Toy but getting there. Also re-worked the battery box to except the straight pipe and went with a smaller and lighter race battery from Odyssey. So, I was able to increase the horsepower and torque along with dropping a decent chunk of weight on the GP. The car is definitely more torquey and feels better ballanced. The new exhaust is not for everyone though. The wife did not seem to affected by it, yet! :D

    One-ball has served me well for 3 years... but it's a little raspy and a little droney at some RPMS... and the JCW/ RMW header combos I've heard sound soooooooo sweet. So it's time.

    No droning from my JCW, but I do not have a header so you mileage or rather db may vary.:D

    ^+1 I love mine too. Congrats Blimey.

    I removed the resonator from mine as it was pushing against my B&M short shifter dust cover and heat shield. I prefer the more raspy sound sans resonator. But the 'burble' on a lift gets attention :)

    GP Steve - I'd love to see pics of what you put together.

    Mine will be bolted onto my RMW street header... so I'm keeping the resonator. :devil:

    Paul;
    So are you going to treat us all to a sound clip when you get it finished?

    Steve's exhaust is now on my car... so it's no longer for sale. :)

    And with the RMW header it is a truly wonderful thing.
