Jim,
I'm with Jeff.
I did a "tweetyectomy" on my 09's OEM muffler and the sound is healthy
(deeper) being intrusive.
One of the owners of a local bike shop compliments the resulting sound
whenever I am over there.
Figuring they've heard many-many bikes, I count it as qualified praise.
I opted to bolt on a replacement sport bike muffler outlet I bought online
vs. the welding.{photos offline by request}
Figure in the cost of a good bimetal hole saw on top of that and I'm in it
for around $50.
