No. 2 Any after market exhaust without baffles is going to be loud. Also MTC exhausts have BS stamp that is valid only when the baffles are in place, without them, you are riding illegally. If you are buying that bike, better get in touch with MTC at this email address so you can order a set of baffles which are cheap too.
