Thanks for the link!

Well, I ain't looking for louder sound, just want to get more deeper, less poppish sound. The gz250 i checked 1 month ago, had a drilled muffler in the past, but the holes were filled again. The sound was still much more smoother, subby, especially when idle... then the one i have... I'm still thinking... not decided yet...

I got my gz with 8 holes drilled in the muffler. I dont like the sound of it and will fill a few. I never heard another gz so it will be hard to compare.

I bought a muffler, im going for it. Cutting off original . Im gonna take my chances , i hate the sound and the looks of stock. Its kind of embarassing to be honest. Wish me luck !!

I wish you luck! Yesterday i had a brake with my bike, sitting out, drinking beer and suddenlly one girl in a top, helmet and hot pants goes by the bar really fast on some enduro bike and behind her, possibly her boyfriend with a loud cruiser like bike, without saddle bags, but loud exhaust... Coming beside me, i saw it was a good old GZ... Didn't saw number of the holes, but he sure was louder than mine. I kind of liked the sound, but, i'm pretty happy with mine...

Give a thought to hearing loss and fatigue due to high noise levels.

You guys are trying to make your bike into something it's not, and will never be, but you will rationalize the sound you'll wind up with and say it's much better, really wishing you never messed with it.

The looks of the ugly muffler bothers me first. Second, its the sound.

I will take pics when new muffler is on bike, and i will tell the forum if its sounds better TO ME, or not. I will be very honest how i feel. As always, thanks for the opinions. Keep em coming !!
