I had bought some stock mufflers to do just that...

Payed 30 dollars for them on e-bay...

Knocled out the plugs and they sounded like cr@p..

Had a nice rumble at Idle and crusing...

But accelleration sounded realy BAD... cracking.. noise...

Pulled em off.. put my SE Slip Ons on....

I drilled mine out, used a 1/2" drill and put 4 holes on the outer baffle, and the inner baffle, sounds great to me. I did add a DFO(Digital Fuel Optimizer) also, because I also drilled out my stock air cleaner, just wanted it to run a little richer.
It's not about money with me, it's about doing things yourself, and making them work. And I have no one to impress.
Although, I do find people seem to appreciate the fact, you did it yourself, and didn't have to shell out big bucks for something that works just as good.
