Well, i drilled my exhaust today, just four holes in each unit and the sound is perfect! Not to loud, just a really nice 'gurgle gurgle' when stationary and a good 'bark' when i hit the throttle! Thanks for all the advice

Thanks for the reply everyone, think i will get drilling until i can spend some cash on some new HH slashcuts!

Hi Everyone New member here on my recently bought XVS Dragstar. Loving the bike in everyway, especially as i am coming from a Honda VT125 Shadow...so nice to be able to overtake traffic instead of trying to ride the slip stream to keep my speed up! Anyway, i have a question: When people talk about 'drilling' their exhausts, do they literally mean just drilling the plate that you can see (with the small pipe coming out venting the gases!) when looking into the mouth of the exhaust? Wanting a little more grunt sound wise so am up for doing this but not sure if i am understanding the process correctly and dont want to be left with a broken pipe!! Cheers
