R53 Cooper S JCW exhaust

[Rob Knox]

I've just bought a 2006 JCW 55k with a JCW exhaust how can I make is sound better ?
I used to own a Clio 182 & can honestly say the Mini is miles behind in performance.
It just doesn't have the punch the Clio does.
Do they do a de-cat or can I remove the front section of the exhaust?
No back pressure pop in. Could this be a by pass valve sticking.
Your thoughts..

The cat round the manifold has just cracked so blowing badly.
Do I replace it with a different manifold the car has never sounds very loud! I'm 46 so no boy racer!!
What are your views?
