I agree completely.  Frankly, my Area-P full system is very subdued at highway speeds.  Much quieter than the full Hindle (pre-Brock) system on my previous steed.  I'm a big fan of their systems.  :thumbs:

My Area P only sounds loud in the garage.  So I stopped riding in there.

Actually I was referring to the not riding in the garage comment...

I like quiet exhausts.  And I can hear my engine just fine when I rev it up over the entire RPM band.
I need quiet as I have a blutooth helmet and when I am on the highway, don't want to have turn up the volume to dangerous levels to listen to Pandora.

Did you not see all the coments about how the Area P is about the same as the stocker at cruising speeds? At 5k both the stocker and the Area P are the same. The loud doesn't come out of the Area P till you really give your wrist a good twist and whined them gears out a bit. From 6 to 9k it sounds VERY nice to me.

The longer I own the bike the uglier the stock muffler looks. I almost can't see anything but that when I look at the bike anymore. It has to be the ugliest most disproportionate thing ever stuck on a motorcycle. I have no complaint with regard to sound or performance, making it very difficult to drop 400 plus on something just for looks.  Maybe I'll get lucky and it will fall off make a replacement a needed purchase.

An after market muffler will not only improve the looks but also increase the "WOW" factor

"WOW" like, it looks great and sounds like a motorcycle instead of a scooter.

Well, it wouldn't be YAMT (Yet ANOTHER Muffler Thread) without me saying I *like* the stock muffler.

Approximately how much weight is lost by replacing the stock muffler?

Dealers around here really go extra low-ball on bikes without stock exhaust, so I always keep the originals in case I want to trade. Out-right sale is another matter.
