Pics or links to pics please !!!
Getting tired of the golf cart comments....hehehe...
Don't have the digital camera handy, but it's pretty simple: There are four rivets and four welds on the end baffle surrounding the exhaust port. I used a 1/4" cobalt bit (form Ace hardware) on my 3/8" corded drill. Two holes, just dodge the rivets and welds.
It was easy going through the end plate, just be careful as you penetrate so you don't hang up the bit. Ten minutes, tops.

p.s. mine's an '02, not sure if the same stock exhaust is on the '05.

Drilled 4 holes 1/2"ers. (I did 3 myself :'( !)
Richened the idle up a little & run super (good thing the tank isn't that big!) Sounds better and runs smoother-no pop on decel.
I can't help myself...I must have more

I did the drill out mod....4 - 1/2 " holes with a 12" drill bit . It caused my 2001 to run a little leaner than it did before but it definately made it louder. I just ordered a Jardine muffler so we'll see how it sounds.

A post appeared in the rubber side area about a new owner with backfire questions. It appears as though the the previous owner drilled the muffler baffles.
Has anyone done this to add a little throat/noise? Any inherent problems with this and does it require carb rejetting? Any ideas on procedure or is it as simple as drilling holes in the end baffle?
Seems like an easy way to get some added sound but it also seems too simple to be without some type of downside.
I recently purchased a completely stock '02 (except for the carb spacer reduction). Thanks for any info.
Downside? Yep, you lose the option of returning the bike to its stock condition, plus you'll lose back pressure and the correct air/fuel mixture.
