    Guess another option its to fit an insert into the end of the can with a plate on the inside end and simply drill a hole in it,be interesting to see what happens peformance wise,the claims some of the aftermarket can makers make by simply fitting there product is at times nothing but a piss take i am sure.

    I have straight pipes much like the Harleys run & have tried all sorts...Yep steel wool can really get some distance when launched out of a pipe. I put a more restrictive version of the baffle that Lone rider put up (see below) & put a restrictor on the end (at bottom) which gave an acceptable (to me) noise level

    Could fabricate a vented cap to go on the inside end of the tube. Pretty easy to do on a lathe.

    maybe chat to other TL owners, there may 'just' be one looking for loud pipes who has a set acceptable to your old ears?
    I have a set of Staintune for the ZZR1100 which would have had DB killers with them originally, I believe they would get you through a WOF. Other option is European aftermarket pipes.... The noise restrictions in Europe are why bikes (standard exhaust) are so damn quiet now.
