Modified R53 OEM exhaust?

Does anyone has a modified MCS R53 OEM exhaust? How it sounds? How it performs? How much did you pay?
I don't want to spend a lot of money on the exhaust right now, so I'm thinking just to remove one of the mufflers and the tips.

Please post your pics.

Thanks

I just did this to mine about 2 weeks ago.

Paid a local muffler place $40 cash. It's a little louder than stock, but not much. Can't tell much of a difference in performance on a stock car...

Thanks for the reply! I didn't know it is called "One ball"...

Another question, What if I remove the one that has the tips and leave the resonator, so the pipe would come from the center? Has anyone done that?

Thanks

Here's a rhyme to help you remember:

The one with tips, you must equip.
The one without, is the resonator.

Ok, so it's not a good rhyme, but it does get the point across.

If I didn't just get up from a nice long nap, I'd try for a haiku
