    Well I couldn't find an aftermarket exhaust for the price I wanted, so I decided to mod the stock can. In 1 hour we cut open the can at the weld at the intake end, removed 1 Baffle, installed high-temp insulation and welded it back up. Looks as good as new. Sounds good too, although we may go back in and remove the insulation to see if it makes it louder, but not too loud.


    Here are some pics and a vid with the new sound. I'll put a link on for sound while riding later.

    So after riding with the exhaust mod, I've decided to cut it open again and pull out the remaining baffle. I'm going to keep the hi-temp insulation however, to keep the sound a bit more reasonable. The note is definately deeper than stock, but not as much as I hoped.

    I'll post more pics when I get it finnished.
