Removal of silencer?

Was wondering if anyone has ever removed the exhaust silencer (standard bore exhaust)?
The best thing I can think of doing is getting a couple of these exhaust adaptors (http://www.minimania.com/part/991%2D739 ... -125-To-15)
Then fitting a slightly larger bore pipe in place of the silencer.
Good idea? not trying to make my car quicker or anything just though it would sound "Cooler" :wink:

Cheers,

It will be stupidly loud and will attract cops to you like wasps round jam. Don't do it.

Fair enough wasn't sure how loud it would be :/ although it cant possibly be any louder than some of the exhausts you hear boy racers with :o
