Over the past few weeks I've gotten to thinking about an aftermarket exhaust for my SV. I would prefer to have a fuller, lower tone my bike, and any performance gains I might manage, however modest, are only a good thing, but I don't really want much of an increase in noise (I'm aware of the safety advantages of a loud exhaust, but for some reason I hate to feel as though everyone is watching me!). Should I go for it or just stick with the stock can? (I don't mind the stock can's aesthetics that much apart from the 5p sized dent... grrr) And which would be the best to go for, the above considering?
