So I Drilled my Stock Exhaust...

[outasight20]

And I like it!

Used a 13/16" drill bit and extension and drilled one hole in each muffler.

The sound is throatier and noticeably louder. It hasn't got that deep roar of an aftermarket exhaust, but it's certainly sounds a lot better than stock.

Sound video and pics to come.

Up I did mine as well. It is noticeably deeper note. I am not sure about with riding thou. Hard to hear over the wind in my helmet.

It's hard to notice when you're at speed. My friend drilled his as well, and you can definitely tell the difference from behind.

I also can't really hear a difference while riding at speed. At idle and accelerating from a stop the difference is noticeable. Just revving it in my garage it is a lot louder than stock.

You just have to kind of imagine being in that car behind you on the freeway or city street. It is certainly loud from behind.

Probably screams at 8-10K RPM range....It is really loud in stop and go traffic...

Here is what it sounds like. The camera doesn't really pick up the sound accurately, but you get the basic idea.
