Clearly, there are differences of opinion on this subject...and let me start by saying, if it works for you, keep on doing it. Here's my two cents: I've had the bike for about a year now. of course, I started out with the stock OEM muffler. The stock muffler is so quiet, I could barely hear it. Next (with the guidance of a fellow forum member) I cut about a square inch hole in back plate of the muffler and it was a clear improvement. However, after riding the bike for a while with this new alteration it became evident that it was still a bit too quiet for my liking. I then did my homework and settled on the GPR slip on. Sucker cost me $500. But in the end it is worth every nickel. Here's why: I can see the drivers in their cars noticing me far more than they ever did before. Let me repeat FAR more. Also, the bike sounds like a motorcycle should...pretty loud and very satisfying. Definitely not crazy loud but plenty loud and Rumlin like a boss. Perfect for me!
