Just replace the muffler with an aftermarket one ,Rather then butchering your current set up.

What's a .........(HKS).......... Hi power muffler?
Is this a really loud set up ?

I am looking for a quite idle with some noise to get noticed with only when I reeally get on it....!!!!

I don't want to be able to hear droning or a anoying rumble sound when cruiseing at like 55-70 either!!!

Any thing fit those picky parameters ?

Thanks !!!!
