pros vs cons of straight pipe
I just recently got a 2017 lrs, and the only thing I did not like was the exhaust left much to be desired. I know a lot of people just remove the baffles to make it sound better, but i decided to just remove the stock mufflers and run the straight pipe. Pros is its louder, cons is you lose the back end pressure, any other pros and cons? I've got the extended warranty and the dealer said I can do anything I want to the bike other than boring the motor and it will not void it, so i figure why not. I plan on putting in thunder torque inserts and maybe a 2-1 tip. I do not want to lose too much power, but I want the bike toe be louder until I have money for an actual exhaust, just looking for a fun quick temporary fix.

update:
for anyone who gets the same idea i did, dont do it. The bike sounded awesome, but when I went to test drive it, I couldn't go over 2500 rpm without it feeling like something was grinding in the motor. I'll just remove the baffles since it seems thats what most everyone else is doing, and it doesn't hurt the bike, or just hangout until I get a good exhaust.
