Hot side Turbo Muffler Delete for R60?

Hey all... After 15 years of drooling over Mini's, and having worked for their big brother back in the early 2000's... I am finally the proud owner of an R60 S-all4.
My question is if anyone has been able to successfully perform the Hot side Turbo muffler delete? I see TONS of info for R56's, but nothing for the R60's, and despite the same engine being used, I am guessing that there may be a slight difference in length of tube needed for proper fit... Let me know as Im ready to start unleashing the true power of my new little friend!

Thanks for the help!!!

Same muffler, and DON'T waste your time, I got ZERO gains felt, heard, or measured.

If you don't believe me fine, I have a pipe that works great, it SS and fits perfectly, I had several made at the same time $15 shipped.

Hey,
I did it by replacing the resonator with a aluminium tube,
I did fell a bit of more response and it does sound different.
About power gains.. I felt a bit more, but minimal.
