Alright guys so earlier (about a couple weeks ago) i did the one ball mod to my r53, needless to say i was not impressed at all and was actually kinda bummed about the sound. It was a little louder but not that noticeable and it sounded a little cheep to be honest. So i then i was looking at new full exhaust setups i wanted to buy and all the very good loud deep toned and nice backfire (burps not pops) were all around 800-1200, as being a 18 year old kid with a part time job and still in high school i wanted to make my exhaust setup affordable with out sacrificing for a cheap *** sounding exhaust. So what i did was this.

My friend has a 2012 JCW and similar to the one ball the r56 and jcw have a resonator down the middle of there exhaust which can be removed and will make the car sound very nice deeper louder tone. A huge difference. So i deleted my second muffler (there was only one left after the one ball mod) installed the jcw resonator (im not sure if the r56 resonator is different from the jcw one) in the middle of my r53. i new the battery box would be a huge problem considering its right in the god damn middle so where the left muffler would be i installed tubing around the battery box and a Y pipe so that i could continue piping around the battery box to keep my dual tips, because there was no room for one pipe to go around the battery box and then add the Y pipe for dual tips. I need to go back and redo my tips because i went to a muffler guy before this job was done and he literally had no idea what he was doing and did a terrible job. So this new setup is down right beautiful and the sound is so nice. For my taste i was looking for a loud sound but i didnt want it to be sloppy. My r53 now sounds like a 800 dollar alta and i couldnt be happier. I have had it for a week and i have gotten tons of compliments on how it sounds and asking what company its from. If ur looking for a loud sporty sounds with tons a backfire i highly suggest doing this. It costed me only 120 dollars. Now that is also because my friend gave me the resonator from his jcw but im guessing you could pick one up for around 150-200. but really i cant stress how nice it sounds. i do have a drone on the freeway but its not that bad. I will add a video later if i get enough interest.
