2. My goal is to make it a bit louder and maybe find some more throttle response.
Ok, so i got these things yesterday. Unlike other attempts of just drilling a hole through them i think i will take a different approach. I think my best plan of attack is to cut the factory welds that hold them together and take the guts out. Then reassemble with a generic perforated baffle tube and test. I will post pics of what i find.
A few side notes....
How is a muffler that you can see straight through ever tuned to a specific motor?
Why would i spend more money on hollow pipes that need removed every 3,000 miles for tire changes when for $100 i can have essentially the same thing that wont need removed?
Reminds me of the chemistry set I got for Christmas once when I was a kid..........:wasntme.....have fun, it's only a hundred bucks....keep us posted..........ffGood luck on your experiment - you only learn by trying!

I guess then i have a serviceable set, though pretty rashed up, of mufflers for sale. Who wants em?

I like the quiet exhaust on my ST1100. If the exhaust was any louder, I wouldn't be able to hear the cool straight-cut camshaft gear whine.
I for one would like to see/hear the results of your mod. The only real complaint is the grandpa mufflers quiet the engine too much. Just don't want to drop the coin on a set of mufflers I've never physically heard or suffer the inconvenience of having to remove them for rear wheel maintenance. If the mod works I would do this to mine.
I had Kerker slip ons on my old VFR with no baffles. Let the V4 roar! Sounds like a hotted up Chevy small block.
I agree.I bet in 29 years, you may think differently. Re-post then , please.
