There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Best souding Exhaust

and just how do you go about tuning the loudness?
Just finished the final mod on my 2012 Rt exhaust.
I finished the final mod on my 2012 RTs exhaust. It looks good and sounds good. I ordered a Magna Flow muffler from Amazon in the spring and installed it on the pipe a local muffler shop. I didn't like the looks because of the bends they made when the formed the pipe. I found the stainless steel pipe I wanted on Amazon. It is also a Magna flow pipe. The Muffler is part number14809 . The pipe part number is 10736.
i cut the flange off the stock muffler, the stainless steel pipe slid right on. I made a hanger out of a piece of 1/8in x 1 1/2 flat strap and made a hanger that mounted to the stock mount. I mocked it up and got the angle I wanted and tacked the mount to the pipe. I cut about 6 in. Of the pipe and tacked the muffler to the pipe. Took the pipe and muffler off and made the welds on the bench. Then put the assembly back on and made sure I had the angles I wanted then tacked the pipe to the flange and then took the whole assembly off and made the final welds. Reinstalled and put a stainless steel exhaust band on to make sure the muffler and pipe stay together. I guess I don't totally trust my welds. I like the looks and the sound in very good not too loud but with a good rumble especially on accel. Not bad for less than $200.00.

I just ordered the Yoshimura R77 slip-on. I've seen many bikes with Akra and I really like the sound but I chose Yoshi because of the deal I got at http://4wheelonline.com. I will post a short review once it is installed.

V-twin vs. triple
In terms of sound a v-twin makes some of the best with an aftermarket exhaust system. I have had both V-twins and inline triples on my motorcycles and the V-twins sound the best. I'm not knocking the triples though as they have other advantages. I just don't think the three cylinder sounds as good with a louder pipe on it. Just my own opinion here.

This question is about as easy to answer are what is the best oil or what are the best tires. You will find a variety of opinions and options. Bottom line is what will be most pleasing to you. I have the Two Brothers that I picked up off Ebay from a reputable reseller for a good price. Provides a good sound when at speed or idling and the rumble during acceleration and burble during deceleration. I am considering adding the CAT delete pipe to give it a little more sound. The Youtube suggestion in a previous comment can give you an idea of the variety of sounds available but your best bet would be to attend meets or rydes with fellow owners to get a real life listen. It seems our North/Central Florida crowd has about one of everything available.

I deleted the CAT and added the Yosh on my 2010 - nice sound, but not obnoxious. There's a thread with a sound video here somewhere. BTW, all the rest of the choices are around as well. Just do a search..
