My brother has been wanting to start riding, so this past week we picked up a nice 2009 FZ6R. He's not really into performance, he just wants to ride out on the open road! He was dead set on an I4 bike, but I was concerned with getting a super sport because this is his first bike. When I came across this bike, I thought it would more suit his needs.
Obviously he doesn't like the stock scooter sound of the bike, but like I said, he's not looking to gain any performance by upgrading the exhaust. I came across the stock exhaust mod on here. After listening to a number of youtube videos claiming to have modded the stock exhaust, there's is a lot of different sounds. If that makes sense?
The mod I am referring to is removing the tip, cutting the narrow pipe, then cutting a larger hole in the muffler and welding a tip on. Like what is cover here (pg 16):

This is the sound he is looking for with the modded stock exhaust:

^ This one, to me, sounds more hollow and poppy. Does anyone know if there is different ways to go about this mod resulting in different sounds? And what I should do in order to achieve the sound the in first posted videos? Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
