Default Doing quick muffler mod question please............................
I have stock mufflers on my bike.I'm going to drill a 1/2 hole through the plug....My question is does my mufflers have two plugs or one and which one should I drill out the front plug or the rear plug or both???? I heard on hear if you drill out the front plug you get a better tone a little deeper tone.. My 08 does not have alot of anti pollution crap on it..I don't even know if it has one or two plugs.......Help please.........
