Speaking of character I recently installed an Arrow full exhaust. The Arrow pro muffler has a baffle that is easy to swap in and out plus you can still use the stock muffler with the headers and swap it in and out in 10 minutes. Without the baffle she really howls and pulls hard to 7,000 RPM. With the baffle she's a little bit louder than stock. The bike definitely runs a bit cleaner with the headers. You can see my '99 Cobra ragtop in the background and the uncanny thing is how similar the powerbands are between the bike and car. Even the gear ratios line up with 2nd bike=2nd car, 4th bike=3rd car, and 6th bike=4th car. They both have the same rough spot just past 3,000 RPM. It's crazy. I end up shifting by sound and feel at pretty much the same spot with both. And they have plenty enough character for me.
