Tried a couple of slipons for my RK, but too loud. Ended up drilling out the stock muffs and got it perfect.

Im confused - the thread was concerned about being too loud now you want louder? A tune up and an airfilter isnt buying you 2 hp.

Uncle Kebo, I want my ride louder, I like the sound of the turned down mufflers from V&H but, my garage is underground and I have to do a full ramp to get the bike out I am afraid i will switch all the car alarmS and to wake up The neighborhood. The question is if there is an accessory the can for few min make the exhaust less loud without going for Dr. Jekyll or other valved exhausts......

Fuel Moto's E series pipes can be tuned with discs to be as quiet as you want.
Or SE street cannons which are neighbour friendly.

Park the bike in a garage that is downhill to get out, then coast out. OPA!
