cool, take some pics and sound clips of what you do. If I could get an extra for next to nothing I would mess with one for sure.

Here's something I did to the muffler.

Packed it with padded material before welding it all up.



Volume wise it didn't increase much, maybe a few dB louder. However, I am very satisfied with the fact that it removed that "hollow" sound during revs, it is a much more satisfying sound now.

Agreed! Please post sounds clip!

I have been unable to find an aftermarket exhaust that meets the note i am aiming for. Everything sounds drone-y and can like. Hoping this mod makes it throaty

Anybody want my cut open muffler? I'm never going to finish it. I'll end up recycling it if nobody takes it.
