I am interested in replacing my stock exhaust with a slightly louder one for the V-Star 1300 Tourer. It has a nice low rumble, but I would like a little more noise. Has anyone modified, or replaced the exhaust on this model? Keep in mind it is fuel injected. Ideas ???

Maybe he wants to equal the same noise level that you get on that freaking knucklehead. Can you even hear the exhausts over the piston slap, valve clatter and knocking rods?
If he wants the same noise level of the Knuck, he needs to find a 140 db air horn and have it blowing the whole time he is riding. :-D
V Star 1300 exhausts modification
I've read articles on drilling out the exhaust with a 1 1/4" drill. You need a 12" extension. Others have just drilled out a series of holes instead of 1 larger hole. Supossedly it makes it louder but not as loud as straight pipes.

I have a Tour Deluxe but its an 05 not EFI and willing to trade for stock pipes if they're compatible & I don't have to do the work. I don't know what kind of pipes are on mine but they are turnouts (not tips like the stockers) and quite loud for my taste. I'm in Central VA where are you located? IM me if your interested.

Since nobody else will do it:
If you get a louder exhaust, you're going to need to change the EFI. That's usually done via reprogramming or adding a device such as a Power Commander from DynoJet.
There's probably a dozen choices in aftermarket exhaust from Cobra, White Bros, Vance and Hines, and others. As suggested, you can drill or even bang the baffles out of your existing mufflers, but if I were you, I'd save the stock exhaust for when you sell the bike one day.
Plan on spending about $800 or more for the complete setup with EFI update and pipes.

I would recommend a set of Cobra exhaust, they sound good. Here are a couple links for you to see what they look like. One for the exhaust system. The other for the FI controller since you will need to remap your fuel injection. Also you may want to consider a high performance air cleaner like a K&N
