what i mean is i like the stock exhaust over most of the aftermarket quad pipes i see. i prefer the 4-1 over the stock.I've got the Titanium Muzzy system and it's pretty loud.It does have that strap you were talking about, but it's barely noticeable. If you like the quad exhaust, why don't you just keep the stock pipes? Or gut em out? Or chop em down? Or you can probably buy another quad exhaust, I saw one with carbon fiber and chrome cans that were twisted I think. It looked sick, but it looked expensive too. Think it was on kawiforums.com
