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.
make it sound better

Depends on what sound you want. Akrapovic Sport Silencers, Cat Deletes, and many, many other exhaust options, just ask tehrlich, he's got a couple different ones barely used for sale. The Silencer is only half of a "Complete Exhaust system"

Cheap... not likely
There are steps you can take starting with the cat delete. You can go on youtube and hear a bunch of different mods but they are only references as in real life they may be a bit different depending on the spekers you are listening on. Odd cylinder set ups are hard to make sound like even ones much like trying to make your VW beetle sound like a Mustang....:roflblack:

SailnDive,
I had to do some searching but found this post by Peter Aawen who did modify his stock final exhaust, so no "new parts" needed for that. Though he mentions this in addition to doing a cat delete, the stock final exhaust mod could, (I don't know, Pete might) give you what you're looking for, for less outlay.

Record the sound of the bike that you like for multiple bikes and play it on the stereo real loud. I've got a Chevy Volt it doesn't make any sound. Recorded a Dodge with a Hemi in it. Now my Chevy Volt rumbles on the inside

Brother,
Now you've gone and done it. I'm gonna make a digital sound loop with a recording of my neighbor's really annoyingly loud HD when's he's trying to keep his motor running, then tie that into the Spyder's sound system and play it when I drive by HIS house...<G>:clap:

Thanks for the plug regarding my exhausts for sale.
I still have them for sale... everything's negotiable.

Simple answer is NO!
You can make it deeper; you can make it louder; you can give it pop.
You can make it sound like a Alfa, or a variety of other "inline" sports cars, But it will never ever sound even close to a V Twin.

When I was in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, I rented a Spyder that had one of those custom exhausts. OMG that thing was loud! I would NEVER EVER EVER put such a thing on my Spyder. After five hours on that thing with no earplugs, my ears were seriously ringing and hurting. I was really and truly glad to get back to riding my dear old Singer sewing machine. I like the idea of recording some kind of loud engine and playing it through the radio -- that way you can just turn it off when you're tired of it. As a possible alternative, I seem to recall from 40 years ago that you could just drill a hole in your stock car muffler to make it louder. Dunno if that would work on a Spyder or how loud it would be, but it would certainly be cheap enough to try and you could reverse it by just putting a screw in the hole again. Or you could wait for someone to invent an active exhaust system like you now see as an option on Mustang GTs and similar cars. With such a system, you can select Quiet, Sport or Blast Your Eardrums Out mode with a dial.
Dont Quite understand why would one want to make our spyders sound like harleys? We have a 2013 RTL and with our helmets on and at highwat/cruising speed it has a pretty good hum to it but have no idea what it souds like, or how loud, but even then I just idle in the neighborhood cause it sure seems loud enough to me. Not sure if the previous owner di any mods to the exhaust though. Thanks guys

Its all about different strokes for different folks. I don't like loud mufflers--but that's just me.
If that is what you want for yours...go for it. :yes:

I'm with Chupaca!
If you have the 998 V-Twin, it's hard to beat the sound of the Yoshi. When I started my 2010 RSS to warm it up, my Harley neighbor would come out and comment on how good it sounded...throaty. rumbly, poppy, but not annoyingly loud. Owning a 2014 RTS now, I'm know that wonderful tone is not available for me. Sure, the 1330 can be made LOUD, but that is not my objective. I have ordered the RLS cat delete, mostly for heat reduction, but in hopes that there will be some improvement to the non-impressive stock exhaust note. With exhaust, hearing them in person is always best, if possible.
There is a great YouTube video comparing: 1)OEM cat with aftermarket silencer 2)Cat delete with OEM silencer, and 3) Cat delete with aftermarket silencer
