Default New Owner 05 STR from Houston

HI, i recently purchase a black 05 STR in Houston.
it has 62k miles on it.
I always wanted a STR, but this one is a bit too much for me.
it was modified by the 1st owner (i m the 3rd owner) with a huge tail pipes and i think it has no muffler on it.

i was thinking of getting a muffler set from Mina Gallery..
http://www.minagallery.com/jagxp/Jag...t%20system.htm

has anyone tried on theirs?

thanks
