Tweaked my bike exhausts

I was wondering how I could get the nice rumble of a Vance & Hines or Cobra exhausts without dropping $600 on my bike. Well I found the secret online. Drill out the baffle from the back of the exhaust and voilà. All it cost me was a 1 1/4 inch hole bit with a 12 inch extension for my drill and it was done. The rumble is deep at low revs but loud and throaty at high revs. I know the decibel level is still within limits but around cops I still keep it low.

I like the sound of my new bike and so far no apparent loss of power or fuel consumption. A few putt putts when I coast to a stop but that was happening before it just was quieter.

Salut.
