Here's an audio clip of the exhaust. I just strapped a mic to my backpack on the way into work this morning, so there is some wind-noise once I get up to speed.
The mic doesn't really catch all of the deep tones, but it should at least give you an idea.

What's your year/model?
TPS Reset...yes.
ECM Re-map
- if it runs like crap, Yes
- if it runs good, No
But eventually, you do an exhuast mod, it's best for the bike to have a remap.

Hey dj, where are you located? I'm guessing I could do another one for $150 or so, but it would be a few weeks before I could do it.
50dro - From what I understand, this is almost the same thing. According to the "exhaust shootout" write-up on ASB, they basically gut the core then line the chamber with packing material.
To be honest, thier fit and finish will be better than mine for sure, they've obviously had a lot more experience doing this than I have when it comes to welding/brazing it back together. I've only done one muffler (mine), but learned a lot along the way.
If I did another, I would probably use Tattoo's suggestion of perforated stainless plate to hold the packing material instead of the mesh, and probably use rockwool instead of stainless fiber. I think in the long run it would hold up better, but the sound would still be about the same.

Reset TPS and get a custom tune if possible or at least upload a Race ECM map.

This looks great!
The exit pipe on my 07 Uly look different to the exit pipe on this and other exhaust mods that I have seen on this site.
Enyone know how different it is, if any on the inside?

Sorry guys, I've been off the board for a while. Just finished moving to Colorado Springs... Woohoo! 
I did upload a sound byte, but it's crappy. I'll see if I can get a better audio clip uploaded when it warms up in a few days.

Nice mod Urban_Assult, am currently trying to find a cheap second hand muffler on ebay so i can hack it for my 2007 XB12SS, I can barely hear it running with the current stock muffler... it would be a bit expensive for me to ship to New Zealand though.
I have found this web site in Australia that sells XB12SS Drummer and Micron mufflers but they are $1500 Australian Dollars which comes to almost $2300 New Zealand Dollars http://www.srwmoto.com.au/exhaust/drummer-muffler-with-slip-in-baffle-in-a-new-core/prod_29.html
