Default FINALLY changed exhaust

So I took the VH Straight Shots off.

I had a set of Cycle Shack mufflers that were on my 00 before I put the
T/H on it. I was hesitant to put them on, because I remember them being
too quiet . . . NOT the case !!

The Cycle Shacks are a bit quieter.Mostly noticeable on the freeway. (Which is JUST what I wanted)
The sound is definitely deeper . . . WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is also a noticeable performance improvement. Nothing Earth
shattering, but it's better. I guess these engines really do like a little back pressure.
2-1 is still best though.
My opinion, the only thing those VH Straight shots are good for is setting off car alarms.
