Bike is too quiet with the stock two pipe insert in there. Too loud with it out. Too flappy / farty with the stock insert drilled / cut due to resonant pressure waves... Measured the 09 tip and found it to be the exact same fitment. Cut the last 1/2 inch off where it is supposed to mate to the inner pipes and fastened the retaining screw.
It's quieter now but retained that super deep rumble like it has with no insert. It doesn't make any weird decel noises anymore. Would recommend to
