    Basically should i do it as i have no plans to change change the exhaust or to map it.

    Has anyone else done it and what difference did it make.

    Not to drill IMO, start upsetting back pressures etc? have you done the flap on it? That makes some difference.

    Maybe i should have made a poll :-D

    Ive done the flapper mod just by plugging the vacuum pipe, but i honestly cant say ive noticed any difference, so i wondered if drilling the baffle would be worth doing, although i understand about back pressure and dont wanna upset the bike.

    Does sound better but by the time you have bought all those tools (if you haven't already got them) you could prob have a cheap slip on, however I preffer the look of the standard :)

    We could always buy the tool as a group and share it.

    Also, in the video i noticed he drilled both sides, where i thought you are only meant to drill the 1, or am i mistaken?

    drill it, I did.
    but I then went a step further and gutted the can
    and put new internals in it.

    Did mine last year...............cant say it improved performance but it sounds great!!...............I did mine with a "Cone Cutter" as the baffle plate inside is I think not your common bvit of steel..............kenhard and will blunt a normal tank cutter.
