I have done this before on my fj1100 because of a rattling sound from exhaust mufflers but it was about 30 years ago so its hard to remember exactly what was done. i drilled out the 3 pop nails took off the back plate and then i found some lose rods/tubes inside that had rusted lose  .i pulled out the tubes i think it was 3 of them and they was about 30 centimeter long. i then modified the plate cutting out some material so it looked like a 3 armed cross  (see pick) not sure if i did that on the popped on plate or on the muffler backside itself .After this It sounded very good  something like this  :biggrin:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF8x9_j704w or maybe more like a  Honda rcb 1000. watch from 3 minutes into this vid.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE-nbFCTO6w

I remember now that i also had rattling noise from the 4 downpipes / bends (lose innertube ) and fixed it by drilling a hole and fit a popnail.

Long story short, not right now. Can't go into details at this time but we are working on it.

Thanks. I'll wait.

I did the tube removal and bored out the holes in the plates before I reinstalled them. It makes it slightly louder, but not too bad. Eventually I'd like to get a complete exhaust for it.
