Loud aftermarket exhaust

[thor grillss]

Picked up a Versys with an aftermarket exhaust already installed, and honestly… it's a bit louder than I'd like, I don't mind a little growl, but this setup might be overdoing it.
Has anyone here swapped to a quieter muffler or added a resonator to tone it down without going fully stock?, what'd you guys think

Right, sometimes it's a fine line between a nice rumble and an annoying drone!
I'd suggest looking into the LeoVince LV ONE EVO slip-on.
They tend to offer a good balance of improved sound over stock without being excessively loud, especially with the dB-killer insert installed.

Aftermarket exhausts are often louder just to sound cool, but they usually sacrifice performance and fuel efficiency. Most riders chasing that roar are actually hurting their bike's longevity and annoying everyone around them, sometimes stock is louder and smarter.

@theKawiverse That LV ONE EVO with the dB-killer sounds like exactly the middle ground they're after. It keeps the character without making every ride feel like a Skrillex concert LOL!!!

I don't want to sound like a smartass, but I think you can always go to stock, or you want some more noticeable exhaust tunes?
