Car is a mini cooper S R53.

I think the right hand silencer (as you look at the car from the rear) is on the way out, I definitely getting some blowing and that box looks a little worse for ware.

I've looked at options and it seems I could remove this box to "one ball" the system which is cheaper with an added bonus of more noise.

Any thoughts on this?

Who can do the work for me in the North Lincs area?

The one ball mod is pretty good but most want a bigger increase in noise.

If you're not looking for much noise then the one ball with increase it slightly, though your better options are to go for something aftermarket i.e. Milltek, Piper, Janspeed, or a JCW exhaust.

No idea how much they cost as mine came with a one ball. I'm quite impressed. not too noisy, pops and bangs a little.

Its quiet on half throttle and nice noise on throttle. I'm sure it'll do nothing for performance but must be cheaper

Thanks. I've found the GTT pipe. I think I'll try the one ball. It's about 1/5 of the price of a jcw, miltek etc.

I was interested in this, but struggled to find anyone to do it!

Exhaust places just like replacing like for like, custom places want to build you a whole new system from scratch and my local do-it-all garage had a look and unless I was supplying the connecting pipe were not really interested.
