I would suggest either a dd exhaust or a delkevic 8" slip on, those are the loudest mufflers for the kat you can get without it running like crap. I would get a jet kit to compliment the exhaust even though its not required, factory pro or ivans seems to be the best and alot of members can help you tune it if your having problems

Straight pipes do nothing aside from making you look like a loud onoxious *** on a bike. They have zero significant use for anything not a harley or small block chevy, and even then I have doubts. Same goes for Cherry Bomb style glasspacks. Get a proper exhaust if you want more noise. Loud pipes don't save lives, so don't even try that route here...it's been beat to death.

Nothing's more annoying than being half-deaf like me at 46 y.o. When the doctor told me I'd lost significant hearing since my early twenties four years ago, the first thing I thought of was how I remember having my ears ring all night after a ride on my loud '88 Honda Hurricane back in the 80s...
Yes, some sound is nice, but try to temper it with a decent pipe, and for God's sake, wear earplugs when you ride!=USAF= Retired

Like this?
Or like this?
The first was horrible to turn with and the second has a muffler...
They are both ungodly loud but it doesn't really bother me...
Most of the people I ride with put me in the back so it's not so bad...
I had 2 people with Harley's and straight pipes tell me mines too loud...
Does it help performance...that's yet to be seen as dyno time isn't cheap...1995 Suzuki Katana 750 (Undergoing changes)

Seriously why...You gain nothing but an ugly horrible sounding pipe. D&D is loud as heck but sounds decent at least. If you cant afford a pipe then sell the bike and move in another direction in life. Bikes aint cheap esp when you deicde to not be stock...I am a Penn State fanatic.
