Force Muffler, Should I bother?

[MotoPhreke]

Hey All,
I recently got a force muffler super cheap on ebay. I can't seem to find too much about them other than they might possibly be the loudest of all pipes, they take a little bit away from the bottom end, and they're prone to cracking at the mounting bracket.
Since this is my first Buell, I figured I'd throw it out and ask what everyone thinks. I don't have the header pipe, just the muffler.
I had already planned to open up the airbox a bit and get a high flow air filter so I can accommodate more air/fuel coming into the bike over the winter.
As for the exhaust I was either going to send my stock muffler to Hawk or try one of the many mods posted on here.
However, I came across the ebay find and thought to myself for the price it couldn't hurt to grab it.

I know no matter what I do, I'll have to retune so I'm not too concerned about it at the moment.

And for reference, my bike is basically a stock 06 XB12R.

Thanks Everyone..

I guess i dont understand why you bought the Force muffler if you are planning on doing a Hawk Exhaust or a your own DIY exhaust

Looks like it was made for the Xb9, and according to the website it shouldnt have cracked since how its was designed

will it even work without the header pipe? looks complex to me I like the simple curves of stock pipes
