Your bike will be about 500g lighter, it won't pop on the overrun and you'll be �15 out of pocket, and that's about it.

There are cheaper ways to block it off, see the mods section, you can use a snug fitting bolt in the airbox that does the trick.

Mine felt better with it blocked off, might have just been the annoying popping nonsense was not distracting me.

Over run on a highly tunes sports bike is cool, over run on the Ten is a waste of fuel...in my opinion of course, I actually quite liked it at first but it was nuts with an MTC single on....

If you only want to get rid of the popping and make the exhaust run a bit cooler, this cheap method will suit perfectly. If you want to uninstall the entire system to save some weight you'll also need to block off the hole between the exhausts with something like the blanking piece from OTR.
