anyone mod their own mufflers?

[Benjamin Weste Pearre]

Please, be nice the rest of us!

I have very good hearing.  Harleys give me a headache, as do the
numerous cars around here with tampered ex-mufflers.  Mufflers are
supposed to turn the sound of a series of violent explosions into
something more civilised, suitable when you're sharing the area around
you with other living things.  Don't make them less effective.  It's
simply inconsiderate.
