Hi guys!
Just wanted to tell you my little story of exhaust mods on my '06 Shadow Spirit 750...
...few months ago I did the hole saw mod and took out the resonators. It made the bike much louder and gave it a bark... it also gave me headaches when riding
and though I was hoping for that HD sound, I got more of a hollow bark. At times almost embarrassing. Well, I decided to shop for stock exhaust and couldn't find any, so I had a friend of mine weld the resonators back in. Problem was I didn't take the exhaust off, so he had to work it directly on the bike, hence only a few weld points.
Anyways, even with the extra opening at the exhaust (since he wasn't able to close it all off) the bike sounds MUCH better. The rumbling had been toned down by good 75% at least, and she's back to sounding like a Honda Civic
So, let this be a warning to all who think hole saw will give you deep rumble HD style sound. It will not.
Here's my without baffles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GENxeLXIxP4
See attached pics of the weld job. I put some high heat paint over it after i cleaned it off with metal brush btw. It almost looks "by design"
