It was idling high and the camera I used to film it didn't pick the sound up properly, so it sounded way better IRL than in the video. Well worth doing, and the way I did it wasn't excessively loud. I suggest you use a big drill bit, and try putting just a few holes in to start with, then adding more later if you want.
I suggest you use a centre punch to indent the exhaust first, and make a small pilot hole so your drill bit doesn't slip and make a mess of it.

Awesome. probly use a nail or somthing to pilot the holes and get them nice and evenly spaced.. make it look like its supposed to be there. any issues with wof's? or metal shavings falling inside the pipe? ill start with 2 or 4 and see how that goes. cant get the bike out for a while though unfortunately. ill trygive it a go this weekend or next and let you know the results

Not at all. Just take your time and do a tidy job. Line the holes up properly with a ruler or something to make it look at standard as possible.

Awesome. had a go at this last week. put four holes in it so far. sounds Awesome!! going to put a couple more in soon to give it a bit more punch. not quite enough just yet. ill post up a video once im done. stoked i gave this a go before replacing it!!

Make sure you post us the link to the video once it's all done.
L-Plate Rider

Not fuel pump related, is it?
L-Plate Rider
Nope. fuel pump has previously been replaced on this one. rewired it back into the CDI while it was apart though as the guy who did it put it on a switch
Was the Regulator that had gone.. it ended up exploding the new battery i put in and took out my indicator relay as well. 2nd new battery, new regulator and new CDI all in now.
Video of the final sound. So much better!!

You wouldn't happen to know where i can pick up a flasher relay would you?
Forum whore
lol, on my mc19 I just got rid of all the metal between the bigger outer exit pipe and the smaller inner one. This improved the sound and slight performance boost we felt. prob just being louder made it feel better.
anyway, didnt bother with pilot holes etc. wof wont notice if its clean enough. just drilled all of it out.
bound to get metal shavings down in there, where do u think the metal is gonna go? but i started it up and revved it up and shavings were flying out the back so most of it should blow out..
anyway, twas a fine mod. I def would not spend any money on an exhaust system etc.. still prob gonna sound like a sewing machine on steroids.
