Hello,
id like to improve the sound of my engine a bit.
I kinda dont want the all open race exhaust, just a bit more noticable sound.

Was thinking of drilling.. Can someone guide me on a) if its harmful for the engine (doubt it since this DFI 2 Stroke dont need backpressure like with a exhaust can of regular 2 Strokes) and b) if there is a howTo on where to drill? May i could tap it as well to put a screw in it just in for some reasons.

Thanks!

Some have cut the exhaust can off shorter and some drill large holes in it. Not a big hp change but louder for sure. My 250XS has the can completely removed and it is loud.

Do you have a picture on where to drill?
