Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Am I right in understanding that 4-1 V&H or Macs are going to scrape when really leaning into a right hand corner?

I modified my Kat to take a stock Bandit muffler. I opened the muffler from the rear side and gutted some of the baffles to reduce the back pressure.
The result was a nice mid range improvement with a decent, but not annoying sound.
To cover up the weld marks, I painted the entire exhaust system gloss black.

No, that is not correct unless you get one of those drag pipes.

Drilling holes - ugh. The PO on my '85 GS700 drilled holes in the ends of the stock exhaust - ugh what an unpleasant noise. Louder yes, but just a flat, tinny blat! Ugh.
The holes were pretty large diameter, so I had to go with 3/8" diameter lag screws to plug the holes. Then, just painted the exposed bolt heads black and it wasn't TOO bad-looking. MUCH nicer sound, even though it WAS stock.

Get a 4-1 pipe, you can run all kinds of combos.
If you run a packed muffler and do a Turn-down, all the noise will go into the asphalt and give a nice deep sound.
