supersize

Description:	This is the least expensive exhaust mod I've come across. I didn't come up with this, I found it on this web site. There is quite a weight savings, but you have the stock muffler and the stock exhaust tubing diameter. (note: the phonto is from the NAM thread, originaly posted by Andy)

Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $90.00 | Rating: 9

Pros:	Low cost, stock look.
Cons:	Still have stock muffler and exhaust tube diameter.

I had mine done at a local exhaust shop that I\'ve used for other cars. They did an excellent job. You won\'t belive how heavy the resonator is, and all that is gone. While this probably isn\'t as good as a full aftermarket exhaust system, the price can\'t be beat!

Pros:	excellent (purchased from MyMiniparts.com)
Cons:	none

For so little money its hard to not try it!

Not sure about being too loud - try this first! If it doesn\'t give you what you want then do a complete replacement system and sell your One-ball component. The sound is good without being over the top - normal driving bearly noticeable, hop on the throttle and you\'ve got sport exhaust notes.

part 125.00 + 35 install

Dyno (one ball plus free flow aircleaner show 9hp gain (figure 5hp are from aircleaner).

For those who want max bang for the buck - one-ball exhaust, pulley and aircleaner - you can\'t find cheaper ponies!!!

Pros:	cheaper than full catback system, deeper & slightly louder sound than stock
Cons:	non of the ohhhs-ahhhs of installing a $700 cat back...

paid $130 here on Hawaii & 1.5hrs... took me as a walkin & got busy on it... chopped it... put in a 90deg elbow..aligned & tac welded.. dropped the cat back & battery cover, finished the weld... put it back up...

sounds like the reg system.. just a little more louder... gurgling noise is louder, more frequent, and a bit sharper...

plus I kinda wanted the elbow to be welded to keep the whole system solid.. not the clamped version mymini sells...
