I'd like to share my experiences with exhausts mod. Here is the story:
At first, I bought a set of Jardine slip-on. I found them a bit too loud, so I did put back the stockers. oups, too soft.
So I read the topics on exhaust mod, and I decided to remove the ugly tea pot. I did cut them 1 inches after the end cap. The resulting sound was very bad, the chrome end cap was acting as a resonating chamber.
I went to a local auto parts store, and I bought two 5 inches pipe extention (4$ each), 2 inches ID (internal diameter). I painted them in black, slipped them over the 1 inches left pipe and used 2 self treading screws to hold them in place.
The end result is awsome! The sound is deeper IDLE, and it's getting louder as you open the gas. Doesn't sound like the V&H, but it is exactly what I was looking for
I have pictures of the process, if you want I can email them
PS : awsome forum, I will post pictures of my bike soon
