Good choice - logical next step - in Canadian dollars a good price for your next bike.
Why are you contemplating mods to the exhaust? There is a fundamental question which I think needs to be explored before racing off to throw money at a Jardine or Super Trapp exhaust.
If you want noise - ( really?) - take the muffler off - the head ache you will have after 15 minutes of riding will convince you that no muffler is not a great idea - let alone the attention from the boys and girsl all dressed in blue the open pipe will generate.
I kind of think that the engineers who put together the Savage knew what they were doing. The new muffler/white spacer routes are interesting technical mods and can lead to more power - but if power and speed is all you are looking for - then jump to a crotch rocket and be done with it.
The Savage is a multi-purpose mild mannered scooter which will give years and years of pleasure and service - just the way it comes from the box.
