Good point, plus it doesn't contribute to further noise pollution!

Removing baffles or drilling them is a sure fire way to screw-up how a bike performs, period.

What that will get you is a hundred trips to a performance tuner's dyno to try to fix the now screwed-up hp/torque curves. The stock exhaust has been specifically designed for the motorcycle, it works just fine, thank you very much!

The only time modifying the exhaust means anything is for racing, on the track. Full mojo for street bikes earns nothing but pose points, a severely depleted wallet, and irritating the crap out of everyone around you.

'85 ZX900 Ninja...the mutha' of all modern sportbikes.
