Modified stock exhaust by nineauto

[Jgkram]

I too am looking at a muffler modification. I really like the "cleaner" look of no bypass pipes and I think Charles has made the best home mod attempt so far by opening a small window and drilling the pipes. A fister mod sounds really nice but just too expensive and might as well spring for a little more and get a high performance exhaust system.

The only issue I see with the absorption style mod you are talking about is the need to repack it periodically. I would really like to know how long nineauto guarantees their work before a repack is required.

If one were to only use stainless or ceramic packing I would think that it would last almost indefinitely. Worst case scenario is that it needs to be reopened and packed every few years. The cutting and rewelding on a regular basis would get old. A riveted closure would make it more reasonable. I have practice repacking my bike mufflers.

I'm not a fan of the sound of the Crios mod or bypass pipes and can't deal with an overly loud muffler or drone.
