I have a new 2015 VT400 Shadow and i love it, i would though however love it to have a few more herbs and a little bit louder does anyone have any suggestions without having to entirely redesigning the bikes exhaust or air intake. Firstly welcome to our group mate . If you have only registered here on the forum you are most welcome to go to the SRA home page and do a registration there to become a SRA member . This is free unless you wish to purchase a badge with the cost being $15 . George our esteemed President will send you a registration card with your name on it with the badge . Or with out Okay onto your question mate .Lovely bike the 400 and to get a few more herbs with it ,we its not easy unless you do the whole ,hypercharger ,air intake ,Pipe thingy then dyno .Big cost for not too much extra horsies. Bit louder is easy and it may give you a tab more but not much . Some drill out the rear baffle and leave it straight through exhaust but i believe one needs a bit of back pressure .I,ll stand corrected on this by others ..With my stock pipes on me 09 750 i had a motor bike guy here in Gympie do a rebaffle on them . Went from 76 to 96 decibels. Sounds ok to me. A mate done it on his 400 and hasnt changed it in years . .Also the 750 pipes will change to the 400 and they do have a bigger hole than the 400. He did this whilst getting his 400 pipe done and said that even made a difference. Do that and a K&N air filter helps a fair bit . Some even do a desnorkeling of the air box ,allowing more air to enter and thus get going a tab quicker . Being EFI the on board puter will be ok with these changes . Some will say get a set of v&H cruzer pipes and that is awesome i must say. Hope this helps .I can send you some links on the desnorkling if you wish .A basically simple procedure . Cheers Ray
