Default Exhaust options XR1200?

Wondering what aftermarket exhaust options are out there for the xr1200? I want to make her bark a little bit. Can anything be done to the stock exhaust to make it a bit louder and not sound like a vacuum cleaner?

Default Modified Exhaust

You can take a 1" hole saw , put it in a drill and drill one hole in each exhaust muffler. Sounds alot better and runs a little cooler ! Send me your phone number OR ( PM ) and I will send you some pics as where to drill it !

For the XR, the options are expensive and more expensive.

Imho the Termignoni is one of the best sounding but it also comes at a price.

Agreed but, the quality and gain in performance are worth it. Plus their systems look damn sexy.

V&H makes a complete kit for the XR. It saves 20 lbs and includes a fuel pack that gives the bike more power.

Get a D&D Bobcat, Patriot Fueler and an K&N filter. You will be amazed at the difference. I know. Also add the upgraded suspension that comes stock on the X models. My XR is my favorite ride to get a burger or do a 250 mile ride with my metric friends.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA0y1PHtauc LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE These!!!! I have a set on my XR, bought them on Ebay, American Classic Motors, Not cheap but about a $100 cheaper with them than anyone else. They sound damn close to the video. These cans have more base than my RH Crossbacks I have on my LO. See attached pics. I painted my heat shields too.

Nice sounding sleds! How about drilling out stock pipes with hole saw?
