Fric, if you like the "cackle" and the loud "racerboy" sound, rather than the muffled, "fart can rice rocket" sound, I strongly advise unbolting the rear exhaust section just to check out the sound. It's pretty loud, but oh so sweet. That sound is just 10 minutes of labor and 4 bolts away. I drove it around town for a week that way. I was never afraid of the police or embarrassed because it was obnoxiously loud. It did "drone" quite a bit though. If you like it, you could get a shop to chop up your rear section, remove the mufflers and re-use the chrome tips for probably under $100. It seemed like it did gain some power on the top end, too.
