Has anyone looked into modifying the stock mufflers so they are a LITTLE BIT louder then stock. I have seen axle back and cat back systems on here already but all are far too loud for what I want. I would much rather make a small modification to the stock muffler so it sounds somewhere in between stock G8 and GTO. (GTO sounds great but is too loud for me now)

After looking at the pictures of a cut-open stock muffler in one of Stolen Fox's threads, I don't see how you could mod a stock one without major surgery.

You know what they say, "If it's too loud, then your too old!" LOL

Hahaha, ain't it the truth!

I have a full titanium race exhaust on my Kawasaki ZX-12R and that sumbitch is, err, robust sounding. OK, let's just say LOUD.

I was at a stoplight once, with the engine idling, and I hear someone yelling....it's the guy in the car behind me hollering, "Your bike's too loud!" :D His wife was pulling on his arm trying to make him shut up. Hilarious. :D :D

Good stuff! You should have rev'd up the motor as he tried to yell at you...make him talk OVER your exhaust!

What I did was to cup my hand to my helmet where my ear would be, as if to say, "What? I can't hear you!" :D

Replacing your resonator with a H-pipe or X-pipe should give you the very small increase in sound volume you seek. The "H" or "X" will give it a nice refined tone as well...

Thats the answer I was looking for. Hopefully someone around here will do it so I can hear it before I start cutting anything.
