Default Dumb Exhaust Question

Anyone out there change out their stock slip-ons to something even quieter?

the only mod that will do that for you is called the Goldwing install. you end up with an 1800 cc flat 6 engine though!

Yes you can install a hoover exhuast system. It will suck like a honda and clean your garage at the same time.

I'm pretty sure that stock is as quiet as they come. I gave up looking.
If someone made a quieter exhaust set-up that also improved performance I'd be very interested.
