885 Exhaust

Can I modify my stock 885 exhaust to get a little more growl?  It's a tad too quiet.  Can I remove anything?  Poke a hole in something?

Wellc it might not be an official mod but on my 885 I unscrewed the end cover of the can and with the help of uncle angle grinder removed the metal inside of the end cap mountings and tail pipe, with the aid of a taper drill then removed what was left of the tail pipe. I then replaced the end cover and it sounds really nice....CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!! It's not really that loud, a fair bit quieter than sans can. It will need remapping of course, small funds in the tea caddy!

I think you need to post a video on Youtube of it!
