I realize that it would be really "politicaly incorrect" but has any body ran their KLR with a straight through exhaust? Did it run well? (noise aside). When I see the Harley's with their straight pipes roaring around town..(they don't actually leave town do they) and I think of my Velocette (a now out of prodution 500 single with virtually no baffling in the factory exhaust) are we sacrificing much (if any) performance on the alter of public preception? Enquiring minds are curious? cheers Martin Polach Calgary, Alberta (the snow is finally melting!!!!!!!)

Dale has something pretty close. I think it's a White Brothers can that's been emptied out. I can hear his KLR on the next mountain over with my earplugs in and my helmet on. While my own bike is running.

I ran my A15 with the muffler off. Just the header pipe. it's VERY VERY loud. Couldn't tell if it ran better or worse. It was just VERY VERY loud.

[...] I've taken my 600 for a quick blast with the muffler off. Ground-shaking noise and the engine revved very happily to redline. Mister_T Melbourne Australia
