Default One more quesiton about pipes

Hello all, I promise this my my last question about pipes. I hate to wear out this topic, but I am still not sure about a couple of things. I received some good information in another thread, but one question was not answered.

I have a C50T and want a somewhat louder, but still conservative sound. I have viewed a video on removal of the baffles and count that as one possible option. My question is, has anyone simply drilled a few holes in the Mickey Plate that is closest to the end of the tail pipe and left the baffle in place? If so, did the sound change noticably and did you have to adjust your airflow mixture to compensate for this minor adjustment?

Also, are there any cons to this less invasive exhaust modification?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
