some pipes are quieter then others but they're all going to be loud.. if noise is a big issue you could do an electric conversion, but otherwise there isn't all to much you can do without killing performance.

I really wouldnt wanna be you anytime soon.?

Its gonna be a real laugh one day when yur engine decided its had enough.

Just do what ttoks said, stuff it with steel wool.

Or detach the damn thing, if that would really make yu laugh.

It might decrease the air flow from your engine to the exhaust outlet.

Read these to sites CAREFULLY before you even thinking of taking it out again.

An easy way to decrease the noise a little is using a rubber exhaust deflector. They are cheap, and work fairly well.
