If you have to radically change the exhaust to get any kind of performance out of your bike, you bought the wrong motorcycle. It used to be so fun to wake up at 2 am to the sound of the Harleys going through the Cafe Rio area setting off car alarms as they went.

I ride a harley, most people don't know that stock harleys are no louder than any other motorcycle thanks to the EPA, people change the mufflers to make the bike louder or give it the "harley sound". The real "harley sound" which they unsuccessfully applied for a patent on is because its a Vtwin single pin crank which gives it the staccto sound or potatoe potatoe sound, because of that design no other motorcycle sounds quite like it. As someone metioned earlier those loud mufflers hurt mid range torque and HP
