Factory muffler removal

[20Vmax20]

I have thought about removing the factory mufflers from my 2020 and installing some small tips instead. I know that this won’t really affect the sound or performance but I didn’t know if anyone else had also done this. If so, what is the diameter of the pipe coming out of the cat?

Did you ever do this mod?

Yes and no. I removed the mufflers but I had a hard time finding tips to put on the cat outlet pipes. The reason being that most all exhaust tips I could find were for cars and therefore to big to fit nice and tight. Im sure if you wanted to have a muffler shop custom make something they could, but for me, I’m now thinking of going to a dual hindle system instead. Until then, I’m just running without the mufflers.

By the way, I tested the decibel level before and after removal and there was virtually no difference. Possibly <1db.

Thanks so much for the response. I'm looking to remove them as well due to cosmetic preferences and my son and I can fabricate and weld so I'm okay with that. I was curious about the sound though, do you mind uploading a video of yours without the mufflers? I don't want to de-cat the bike because I don't like the empty space and void of that cosmetically. Thank you soooo much!
