Yeah that's the go, me too. Plain black pipe. Pure functional. Leave them wondering. I even concealed my exhaust tip by having the rear bumper modified to cover up that hole on the standard rear bumpers, my exhaust is a black 2.5" dump pipe just pointing downwards behing the bumper.
On my first micra, it didn't have a resonator, only a back muffler. It was quite loud! Very fun to drive in.
