Ok I admit it I bought my new bike for a few childish reasons, the main one being the way the exhaust pops and gurgles when downshifting. Yes the DDC and the QS etc are awesome features but nothing put more of a smile on my face than changing down gears going through my local town and seeing people point and stare. Yes I'm a loser.
My thread question though is what causes this noise and if you changed the stock exhaust how is this affected. I recall reading in a recent thread that a guy had bought the full Akrapovich system for 2k and was then left totally unimpressed when he heard it for the first time. Others say their Arrow cans (at a third of the price) with baffles removed sound awesome. I want to change the OEM end pipe but don't know what to. What I don't want to do is spend money on a new end pipe which loses that popping and gurgling. Yours experiences on what you have fitted are most welcome.
