One Ball Modification

Hi folks, new guy here but I am curious about the sound of the one ball mod.
I could not find a sound clip anywhere. Anyone?

2003 MCS

I liked mine - sounds slightly deeper and louder than a JCW (which I have now on my GP) do it.. you'll like it - not sure on an 03' if you get the burble more.... but that part I really liked about it too. (mine was on an 05' MCS)

Search there is an extensive thread on the one ball with several sound clips (and one or two spilled into the exhaust refreance thread but are a little harder to find)

Let me see if I can dig it up.....

I have an 03 MCS with 1-ball. There was no burble in the exhaust before the mod, and now there is one. The tone is a little deeper, not much if any louder than stock. And you can't beat the price.

I had it done recently on my 06 MCS & am very happy with it. It is definately a bit louder than stock, but not overbearingly so & it seems to possibly have a bit more pep.

The One-Ball also reduces exhaust backpressure see this thread on MINI2.

Look at the stock system with the GTT re-route pipe, which is a one-ball.
