Yup, all I did was drill one hole at a time (3/8") until it didn't sound like an exhaust leak. I think 8 or 9 holes, and just put the cap back on, sounds perfect.

Mine sounds about the same. I drilled 3, 1" holes, removed the snout and opened up the cap.

Exactly how did you do that? It seems that if a person drilled the holes and then reinstalled the end cap, that would negate the sound improvement coming from the holes.

Just think what it would sound like if the holes were properly, simetrcally spaced!

So no other work? No baffle changes?

and, again, is there a MPG cost here or a HP gain? Or is it just tone?

-Peter Nothing else required. If anything my mpg has slightly increased. My seat of the pants dyno tells me no hp gain. The sound is a much deeper rumble than stock, no excessive noise.

Will be doing this mod in the next few days. I'll also submit a riding video with Spielberg quality production as well.

Add me to the list of looking forward to your riding and/or drive-by video version!

I did this mod drilling holes only and was getting no change in mpg. Commuting is still 48 for mixed city/highway, road trip is 55-60 mpg for all highway. For me it was just to make sure the bike could be heard by pedestrians.

I did this mod, I drilled 8 3/8 holes similar to picture posted.
Sounded pretty good , pulled end cap while running notice improvement so I took a dremel tool and cut the pipe off that protrudes out of the end cap.i cut it about 3/8 " from plate that the holes were drilled in.
This left a bigger hole for exhaust to go thru instead of being squeezed
Between the small pipe and end cap. Really like the sound.
