Anyone in Chicago have oneball mod?

I want to hear what it sounds like in person before getting it done. Anyone want to let me listen to their MCS in exchange for a beer or two afterwards?

Thanks,

-mike

I'm in the Melrose Park area during the day, and out in Aurora during the evenings. I don't head into the city much, however. Here's a vid I took of how it sounds after I had it done a few years ago:

Local exhaust shop in Stone Park on Mannheim did it for $40... Showed him the diagram of what I wanted, and despite the language barrier, he understood and it turned out well.

My boyfriend and my friend are going to do this for me this weekend I think, so I'll let you know what it sounds like. Anything is better than my rusty ball rattling at low RPMs. Ugh, feels like I'm driving a jalopy...
