Yes I did but it's like taking a bath with your socks on, rip out the baffles and install the TTi and you will be happy with both the performance and sound.

Very interesting. Did you had to modify the stock exhaust? I mean take out the baffle, cut anything etc?

Besides the sound, did you feel any performance improvements?

I'm getting ready to gut my stock mufflers and put TTI's in them to hold me over until I can order a new exhaust. From what I've read and watched you have to cut the muffler far enough back so the cat/baffle assembly can be forced out of the pipe. Mine are a bit different than the ones in BensonUK's link and in this link

but the construction of the pipe seems to be the same so hopefully the only difference on mine will be how far back up the muffler I have to cut.

Did exactly as instructed by DK Customs

1 1/2" back from the end of the stock exhaust mark off and cut the end off.
Then got a broom handle and knocked out the baffle

Sound deepened and the response seemed more but that could be a placebo effect too.
She loved the sound on the bike and it was a cost effective improvement until we put some slip ons on to replace the stock muffler

Yes, I had to drill through the heat shields. When I find it I will post a link to the thread I had reviewing them.
