TGGRRR (Ali) Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I just got one that I bought used from NAM. It's a Magnaflow and I LOVE IT! It would fit your car so if you find a used Magnaflow 16662 and want to know what it sounds like, let me know.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Did you do the pulley yet? Tigger has the Pulley, CAI and exhaust and I love it. I also upgraded the brakes to Hawk ceramic on the advice of a friend. He said if I'm going to add power I should also upgrade the braking. Plus I upgraded the rear sway bar. The CAI really magnifies the sound of the super charger! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tron Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes I got that last weekend for Tron and I fell in love lol. Just the sound the supercharger is making now is music to my ears. I want to upgrade my brake system as well. But just like good old J. Cash Im taking it one piece at a time lol. Only diffrence it will cost me.

They're a tremendous upgrade from the R53 stockers but won't break the bank (no pun intended). If I remember correctly, the R56 brakes are the same as the R53 JCW brakes.

elpollodiablo Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hey Tron, Just got word that the last of the parts arrived at RRT and they should have my car finished tomorrow. I'll be picking up the old RMW exhaust if you want to take a look.

The one "gotcha" I can think of is that new front brake lines may be needed, as I think the connection changed between generations. Note that the rear brakes did not fundamentally change at all until the 2nd Gen JCW BBK (i.e. what comes with 2nd Gen Factory JCWs), except for the parking brake cables.

Tron Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Im standing by on brakes because Im waiting to see if Mini Me buys Edge's old brake system. If he does im going to shift fires to probably ordering my strut brace which is around the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
