    Hi Guys, I run with the original stock muffler. My mates (KTM rough nuts) keep telling me it sounds like a sewing machine or brush cutter. I ususally just drag them off and tell them that even with their after market pipes they are still slower. Skiting aside is there merit in opening up the stock pipe. I do not want to be really loud but a throatier note would be horn and a little more bottom end would not hurt (6 feet and 260 lbs prop forward- tackle for our American cousins). Apparently the 05 TE 450 had more bottom end.
    Long story short if it is dooable what indeed do I need to do. By the way I do not want to buy an after market pipe.

    Any guidance would be very useful.

    Cheers.

    About 2006 there was a person that did exactly what you are asking about on TT, I do not recall what he named the modification. It may have been started by "ponocopete".

    That mod did indeed make the bike sound more respectable/throatier/better, but not really loud. It also added some HP in the lower rpms.

    I really do not recall but did spend 10 minutes looking for it. I even compare a modified TE250 with my stock TE250 and made a graph comparing the loudness at different rpms measured with a dB meter.
