Kyle, wait until you hear the sound of my pipes on my SV1000. My buddy and me took the stock baffles out and then put the cap back on. The SV is so stinking loud now. Good job on yours, looks good. Can't wait to hear it.

I would imagine your SV would sound much louder than this 636 thats for sure. My SV650 is still crazy loud compared to this bike, but thats a short can with short midpipe. This sounds a tad louder but nothing crazy miraculous as I imagine your SV sounds. It is good that you were able to modify yours to the loudness you wanted, since aftermarket dual cans for the SV1000 are crazy expensive!

Modifying the stock cans gives you pretty much the same as any aftermarket can, more flow and more sound. The only problem is some people take too much away....
On a different subject, if my SV1k sells I'll have a pair of Two Bros cans I'll be selling. Not showroom quality but not dented.
If it's for free, it's for me! Thats what I always say. The Ninja does sound much better than it did before, but it's nothing drastic like chopping off 10 inches or taking everything out. I did yank some of the interior packing out but not a whole ton. I was curious about making it a hollow can with nothing else inside, but assumed it would sound like a straight pipe and probably be too obnoxious. But it does sound good enough to me!
Good call on the PR2's, that's waht I have on my SV, and after 3000 miles they still look brand new, but then again I dont ride hard enough to push them and start eating through them, I barely lean enough to use the softer sidewalls, so the harder center has been a real help for me. I think that if I get my next set for the Ninja when that time comes, that I will go with the PR2 again so that the center section stays nice for a longer duration. Because really when you're leaning, the sides are softer like they are on the Pilot Power so it'll be just as good, just longer lasting in the center which is the first thing that will go on my current tires since I have to ride so far to get to the meeting spots now.
Made a video of it from last night:

It sounds much louder in person and I didn't want to annoy the neighbors, my camera must just not pick up all the sound very well, weak!
