exhaust

Hello fellas,

Now when im almost finnish with my cb750 bobber projekt I need some help from you guys with the exhaust!

I got a 4-1 system(dont know wich one, was on the bike when I bought it) now but I dont really like the sound of it. Any tips of how to make cb sound more like a bobber(less jappy), not to loud but more "growl" sound in it.

Thinking of taking the baffles out but I dont know, or make "smaller" ones. But there different dimensions on the bafflers, does it make different sound? like 20mm baffle makes "lighter" sound and a 40mm makes it more "growl"?

I was also thinking of building dragpipes but what ive been reading about it its not good? But will it sound good? been looking on youtube but its so hard to tell from a video how its sounds. And about the "pushback" or what people talk about, would it not be enough if I just have 180degree on the exhaust to make it work?

It got a little bit messy but I hope you understand what I mean...

Here's also a picture of the bike.

That is a nice bike. I have to tell you that the best (bobber) sounding CB 750 is my buddies that has drag pipes with baffles from vintagecb750.com.
