This is Dave Riffles Beasley Hawk with his custom underbelly exhaust system.  He believes the headers are TBRs.  The mufflers are some exhaust shop glass-pack style silencers.

After hearing M4 and TBR systems I wanted something with more rumble than the SuperTrap, so I kept my eye out for a cheap canister that would work with my ST headers/collector.  I had Muzzy in mind, but I'd consider others.  A lister put up some spam on the list which included 3 used cans (Muzzy, D&D, and MVR w/ mid-pipe).  When I found out how much he wanted for them I grabbed them all!  I tested each on the bike with the MVR mid-pipe, and the MVR can, by far, sounded the best.  The only problem was that the MVR mid-pipe was WAY too long , so I did some measurements, hacked it up keeping the ends and the bend in the middle, then took it to a local exhaust shop who welded it up.  It actually turned out pretty well.  This is one of the best sounding Hawk exhausts I've heard, so I'm happy.  :^)
