Never know when you might need to put the stock ones back on to make the politicians happy. Let's hope there's intelligent life somewhere in space 'cause it's buggar all down here. -- Monte Python

I have the short Speedmaster off-roads, which aren't much louder than stock. And after taking them off and looking at them, I don't know how to go about making them louder...which is why I ended up with Epcos. Looking through my pipes, there's a straight hole about 1/2-3/4" inches in diameter running through it's entire. length, so there aren't any baffles to drill out.
