Absolutely the cheapest method of getting a better exhaust.
Somebody who can weld Stainless will do it for about �30 if you do all the cutting out yourself.

See Redbikejohn's page here: http://www.redbikejohn.com/Tenere%20...s%20Review.htm

About halfway down the page is where he shows you how to cut the cat out and drill pipes for better airflow.

This doesn't change the exhaust sound much at idle, only under revs and you'll notice a small difference in the feel of the engine.

It was never that much louder but sounded a lot throatier.
