    08' FZ6-S2 I like a quiet exhaust:do they make a quiet slip-on that Breathes ?

    I'm sure the stock muffler(under tail)on my bike is very restrictive,but I do like the location & quiet. Do you know if there exists a good quality slip-on with quiet,removeable/repackable baffles that will give me more flow/power up past 7K rpm ? I want a bigger 'Kick' up-top.
