i like quiet exhausts,
id like to find a pipe that is as quiet as stock but performs well
loud does nothing but give you a headache and make you a target for cops

not to mention getting a pipe just for loudness is equivalent to putting on rim tape and calling it a performance mod

 

The bottom of the muffler tip has an allen screw that you need to take out. Once that is out then just get a pair of pliers on the inner most flange of the exhaust and pull. Work it in different spots. I tried to take my buddies out after a ride and the damn thing wouldnt budge. The next morning once it was cold, it slid right out.
