I'd like a custom (Jardine, Drummer, etc) muffler for my 2009 XT. I'm mostly interested in performance not noise. What would you guys suggest?

Read the exhaust shootout from American Sport Bike and then decide.

I did read the shootout, seems the race muffler is the best but I don't think there available.

Also can you jack up your bike if using the aftermarket mufflers?

Jackable mufflers - Drummer, Special Ops, Race pipe, some others

Non-jackable - Jardine, Micron, D&D, some others.

If you are willing to wait a bit you can snag a race pipe, they pop up on ebay all the time. Personally I would go with the Micron, its easily the one of best pipes for the XB.

One other thought, I'm a metal fabricator, could I just gut a stock muffler and get better performance/sound? I think that's what Drummer does.

Yep, there are some guides online about how/what to do. : )

Go with a Drummer. Best overall pipe. No need to tune your bike also, but you still could if you wanted. Drummer and Spec Ops both use the stock can. I imagine that both Drummer and Spec Ops just don't gut the stock can, throw on an end cap, paint, and then sell. There's more to it than that. I know Drummer has tested/dyno'd his pipes to get it where its at now.

Are Force exhaust systems worth the cost? Considering its a whole 200$ more than a carbon fiber Jardine I'd just as soon save another 200$ and get a Force. I've heard you need earplugs when standing next to a bike with a Force system, but haven't heard anything performance wise, anybody have one?

You sure you don't mean Ti-Force? The Force exhaust is for tubers. I have seen a Ti-Force in person, but never heard it. It looks bad ass.

No no no, I meant Force. They make them for tubers and XBs. Those Ti-force systems are like 1000-1200 bucks compared to Force's 650 bucks.

These are the parts to the Force exhaust, the muff reminds me of a SuperTrapp Megaphone.

The Force system can produce a lot of power if mapped correctly...not really "plug and play" for max power tho. And yes, they are loud! Makes the Jardine seem quite, scares women and children, etc.

Scares women and children...lol, I've gotta get me a Force system. I'm used to ridiing my 1200 Sportster(was an 883 but got a hell of a deal on a 1200 sportster engine) with SikPipes, basically open headers. So I'm used to LOUD, but being a pyrotechnician I've had my eardrums break a couple times, so I'm practically deaf of sorts. Can't beat the 650 asking price though, I'd rather have a Ti-Force system, like a full Micron system but I'm not shelling out 1200 bucks for a damn exhaust system.
