I finally installed the new CW Exhaust.
1. Exhaust as is - there is drone between 2-3 RPM. Not as loud as Ebay exhaust but it's there. Not unbearable, but I guess personal preference will determine that. My ebay exhaust has drone up to 4 RPM. Once you pass 3 RPM with the new CW exhaust the drone is gone.
2. I inserted aluminum exhaust baffle with cap on the end (Amazon - FOLCONROAD Universal Motorcycle Muffler Insert Baffle Can Removable 48MM) The drone was gone. Sounded like stock muffler. Maybe a bit louder than stock but not obvious.
3. I removed the baffle cab and I like this option the best. Still no drone, but muffler opened up a little bit. Louder than stock with a slight rumble. When you hit 2-3 RPM it almost sounds like it wants to drone. For individuals who are very picky from a scale of 1 to 5 I would say the drone is .5 at 2-3 RPM with this option.
I recommend re-using the stock exhaust clamps or pick up new ones. The gold exhaust clamps included with the exhaust are a little weak. I managed to break one of the bolts. The silver exhaust clamps are very strong. I ended up using the included silver clamps to attach the exhaust tips. I noticed on Ebay you can buy the new CW exhaust without the exhaust elbows and clamps.
Also worth mentioning I had to cut the baffle and shorten it - as is the baffle is too long for new CW exhaust. It fits Ebay exhaust just fine.
