Removing the mufflers, possible with just hand tools?

[He Man]

thats why they invented cored stock mufflers or earplugs

im in the same boat guys. But after hearing an exbox for 2-3 months, meh. Looks SICK, sounds....eh. This why i just ordered a bunch of pipes from JC Whitney...TO MAKE MY OWN!!!   

seriously though, you can core your stock mufflers and it will sound much better. I am doing mine rightnow, except, i dont have a bike to hear how my core sounds.

I would get Boom-tubes over the Exbox system any day.  I don't know if they are available yet though.

Another observation after running the bike without mufflers for a few dozen miles:  does taking the mufflers off in some way influence the engine temp?  I can't say for certain but I'm fairly confident the engine's been running a lot hotter now, seems like it goes up to the 250 range within 10 minutes or riding in the city and will go up to higher 200s faster than it would before.  Is this something that makes sense or am I making it up?

Thug,

If you're not in a rush I was thinking about getting the Boom tubes or making my own from my old pipes.  Right now I'm running the Ex-box and if I like what I hear I'll be selling the Ex-box.  It's definately better than the stock IMO.  Just interested in seeing/hearing the difference between the 2 myself.
