Thanks guys!
Biermagnaat, I havent gone on a track with this one yet... I am preparing it for Hills and up the mointains
But eventually I will go on trackdays!
I am having some trouble with my Exhaust doe... I believe we did something wrong... Must be the Back boxes...

Because the main pipe is 57.5 mm on the interior part (60mm outside) the to the inside of the mufflers its 50 outside... but the sound is weird... but lost alot of backpressure... Probably the inside of the mufflers are not doing a good job. Instead of having this fiber glass looking like feathers
(JCW mufflers)
I have a sort of blanket fiber just surrounding the walls of the muffler... I believe this must be the problem
I will open up my mufflers monday!

if any ideas from any of you

greatly appreciated
trying out these... but 18... seems too big

Thanks guys! all i can say in dutch is Eindbaas!!!!!!
Well concerning these brakes towards the R56 brembo... pleaseee....!

where you can really notice the diference is on the semsibility on how much you want to break! its like you can break on a curve without a problem! also this is harshhhhhh when you want it to stop!!!! now I need to get new tires and also a new brake pump!

to make it ruff!!! i use my car up hills here around where I live, So i really need it to stop, on the down hills

)
Well i cant compare these to another 8 pot BBK... but i super satisfied with these!!! Now I need some more break power in the back!
But if you want to go technical with these... this is not really a 8 pot calipster..., it is but its not
Look at the pics
se this? well you do have the 4 holes there, but if you look at the top of the calipster, you can see only 2 round curves... so this is more like a double 4 calispers!

but for the price I am more than HAPPY!!!!
Me too Lobster!

because as of now... it sounds shiit! but i believe its from the fiber glass... because my pipe is bigger than OEM JCW, but its smaller than Milltek. The mufflers are smaller than JCW but bigger than Milltek... but I have less loudness than my JCW OEM... so weird.... So it must be from the mufflers...
