I'd recommend going with a sportster muffler.  Easy to put on, enough volume to hear yourself without irritating the neighbors, and about as inexpensive as you're going to get, methinks.  Louder than stock, but not so loud as any of the others, from what I hear.

russ_g,

I went to a local harley dealer and browsed through their used mufflers.  I found a nice used muffler from a Dyna for $20.  It has a different bracket than the Sportster muffler that was easier to mount, but I had to have a short exhaust pipe extension made at a muffler shop.

I think you need to buy a Sportster or Dyna muffler made for a bike before 2004. The newer mufflers have a small crossover that you would have to plug, so don't get one of those.

Thanks for the input of the Jc thumperclone, I'll avoid it.

i have a 17" straight thru, sportster muffler on my wife's bike, the harley bracket, matched up with the suzuki mount perfectly, i used a harley muffler clamp, and the suzuki heat shields. i like loud pipes, and i think it sounds exactly as it should, you can hear it 1/2 mile away but not 1 mile.
