it's actually very common among Kasaski Vulcan and Concours owners. all it really does is knock a hole in the end cap so that exhaust flows slightly more freely. on my concours, we actually pass around a small hole saw about 1.5 inches in diameter to cut the plate out.

On the hawk it probably doesn't help all that much because of the in-line cat converter further up in the exhaust. I saw someone cut that open, gut it, and weld back in place. that would be a better solution other than a new pipe system without the cat and put a forest service approved spark arresting muffler on.
