Don't be a nuisance to the public. Get a decent set of mufflers with good sound and engineering to improve your performance. But sure you can get some torque cones for some back pressure. But the twin cam will run like poop on straight pipes.

Be a nuisance to whom you wish...

Yeh, you can run straight pipes/cholos, whatever you like. If you've got a carb, you may want to adjust the needle a bit. If you have EFI, then you might want to look at a tuner. I've got a '99 RK also. Runnin slipons atm, but soon I'm gonna fab up some SS pipes. (That's stainless steel, not S&S.)
