My Bootleg exhaust is too loud
I bought this bike with the bootleg installed. At first I liked the noise, when I juice the throttle, everybody knows.
Yesterday I took my buddies 99 F4 for a ride, he has a Hindle pipe and header. I really enjoyed riding his bike, and I think most of the reason is because I could hear the bike better and felt more in control.
It seems to me at certain lower RPM the exhaust hits a frequency that really drones and somewhat irritates my ears.
The Hindle pipe has such a beautiful tuned sound, to me its almost like having no exhaust vs a tuned Dynomax exhaust on a car.
I am interested to hear your thoughts or opinions.

Umm. Ya someone will ****** that bootleg from you pretty quick if you want a different note. Let me tell you my personal opinion. Although there are many different sizes/shapes to bootleg slip-ons, I will tell you my experience thus far.
Right off the bat when I started the bike up for the first time after the installation, I knew immediately that the sound note is going to be rather loud. This is even at idle. To me, it sounds like a throaty deep but louder than two bros pipe. The bootleg is a rather louder than normal aftermarket name brand slip-on for obvious reasons. Look at my pics below. The can is basically a hollowed out piece of metal with a honeycomb air deflector in its lining. There are no stops or curves or air blockages as in other cans rather there is basically a "glass-pack". But this "glass pack" really makes the bike sound sharp. Loud at times? Yes. Lets people and cars know your coming and you mean business and dont feel like getting over-looked and hit today? Yes. Deep and throaty? Yes. Ricey and pingy? Nope The bootlegs, whichever version you have, really are unique exhausts..and Im lucky to have found one

I really love the look, your bike looks awesome with that pipe. I guess pipes are really a person thing, everybody likes a different sound. I got the factory pipe with the bike, I should put it on to make sure that the noise I am complaining about really is the pipe. Whats this pipe worth? Should I put it on ebay? I would really prefer to trade.
