Honestly though, I do apologize and will stop. 

As for the louder question.  you pretty much are limited to buying a new exhaust.   It would be cool to find out there was another way .

Being that it sounds as if you do not want to alter your stock pipe by drilling then why not try and find another stock pipe on ebay or the like and modify it by either adding a different can or starting with the drilling method first since it would be easy and if you did not like that then look into adding a different muffler to that set of pipes.

If you are not happy with the changes you can always put your stock pipe back on the bike.

Another way to make your bike make more nosie is by adding K&N pod type filters but you will have to rejet the carbs for this one but if you want low end noise and more noise then the pod filters will give you a new sound.

The down side to pod filters is that in some cases it can cause the bike to not run as well at lower RPM's.

Just buy a Harley with straight pipes and be done with it.

I recently installed a lunchbox K&N air filter, and with my stock pipe and muffler it sounds much deeper, specially at low RPMs when you just open the trottle, it costed $30 bucks, also rejetted for $5...

ANY changes to the intake or exhaust will require a rejet. So yes, you will have to rejet, as you said you probably would.

Search the terms, but I'm pretty sure that a lunchbox is a square filter that sits atop both the carbs, and is named that because it resembles the little lunchboxes we carried in our youths. The pod-types are different because an individual one sits atop each carb, so there are two.

ok here is what u do get a bungee net, go to the pawn shop and get one of those '80's boomboxes find a harley and make a tape of their exhaust.  Now use that bungee net and put the boombox on the back of your bike and make sure u push play before you take off down the road
