Wow!!! First time seeing your video and noticing my feature! I really appreciate it! The bike sounds wayyy better! Really wish I would have did the black. I was thinking of wrapping the headers too.. She's been sitting this season due to a cam that needs replaced. I rode it too hard with my street bike buddies and she didn't like it, I have a video on my channel of me ripping through twisties with R1's and stuff, it's wild!.. Super glad too see others are finding inspiration from my build! I got many pointers from the legendary and late Dave Dodge, rest his soul.. Also, I did do a re-jet of the carbs, which is pretty important if you are opening up the exhaust with a 4 into 1. That also contributes to the better noise on mine, along with the Kerker muffler.

It's always cool to look at new things and find ways to do something different. Regardless of the result. There is no "good" or "bad"! Otherwise, we would not have all the different after-market exhausts we have today. Sometimes we start with a goal in mind but we end up somewhere totally different! That's called innovation or just a different idea! I like the original sound but I appreciate the enthusiasm & the effort dude! Stay strong, ride on!

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I took the Magna for a long ride on Sunday and in my opinion it sounds so much better! Just a little louder and it has a better tone!

V65 magna is I think the best overall bike. If you can get a good one, and completely maintain it, then you've got an absolute beast.

I have a few V4 Hondas. I changed the boat sound by drilling six 1/2 inch holes in the end baffle. Sounded a lot better but I ended up taking all the baffles out but the one farthest in. Sounds amazing now

My buddy bought a VMax in Tulsa with a Kerker 4 into 1. He lost the muffler on his way back to Arkansas. It sounded so good he never bothered finding a new one. It sounded like an early F1 car!

There wasn't anything wrong with the stock exhaust sound. Growing up in the 80s. The bikes sounded cool. And you could drive through your neighborhood. Without pissing people off.

I was just looking for the bike to have a different tone at high rpm, it isn’t really a lot louder then stock
