It costs me enough to run the car so anything extra I get from it is a good thing" He's only 22 so I can imagine running a supercharged Mini is expensive.

I had the Pro exhaust on my last Cooper S. It sounded fantastic but I found myself getting tired of the pops after a while. Would have been nice if you could turn that off through settings without having to get out of sport mode completely. My current car (21 mcs) doesn't seem to pop much at all which I'm glad about so I may put a pro exhaust on this one at some point. Love the sound of the pro exhaust. Love the "fart" on upshifts, but the popping got really old after a while to me.

Great video. I bought a 2017 Cooper S Works second hand recently in UK with this JCW Exhaust installed already and get no pops or bangs in Sports Mode at all. When I open the valve with the remote I get maybe one muffled pop here and there but its' very limited. I'm convinced previous owner has turned something off on the car via ECU or exhaust but I don't know how or how to fix. Car performs great otherwise and low mileage. I asked local Mini dealership but don't seem to want to know when it comes to exhausts and look at you funny when you ask where have the pops and bangs gone lol. Like you I bought the car totally for the pops and bangs where it should be sounding exactly like yours. The 2017 models were the last in the UK to make great noise and then 2018 laws started to change to tone it down. Not sure if you identified anything when fitting system where you could turn off/adjust such noises. Appreciate any help or advice to check

Thanks for watching! When you open it, did you turn it to race mode with two clicks of the exhaust remote? That’s frustrating that it doesn’t work. Also sometimes the remote disconnects so it doesn’t actually turn on the exhaust, you hold down the button for 10 seconds, then try the two clicks again to see if it opens. You also said you do it in sports mode so that can’t be the issue. Some people try it in mid, and that doesn’t work lol.

From your sales link: "Activation code in envelope will need to be flashed at MINI dealership for flap system to work and engine remap." Your flaps work without flashing at the dealer, so does the flashing actually only refer to the tune (which I know you said you didnt install)? Concisely put: is any coding or flashing required for only the exhaust flaps to work? (Without the tune)?
