No, it is the opposite. More discs - louder. Less discs - more quiet. My bike is loud enough to be heard.
If you have the end opened you do not need discs, it is as loud as it gets. If you have the end closed, less discs = less air flow = quieter, more discs = more air flow = louder. If it is for someone too loud with the end opened, you can tune the airflow / sound by changing the number of discs.
Not required. The existing clamp is more than sufficient to hold the SE pipe in place. No gasket is required and nor do you need locktite. Just tighten the clamp until the nut stops turning or as tight as it goes and you are good to go.
Yes, the bolts are removable. The bolt heads have been slid into a slot in the bracket and they will come out after you have disconnected them from your muffler when each is individually slid towards the centre, where a cut exists. Secondly, once removed you will have to put them back for the new can. Pretty obvious I suppose. Thereafter loosen the two jubilee clips holding the muffler connected to the pipe coming from the engine where the muffler has been slid on it. Thirdly, you will have to move the old muffler a little left and right or even up n down as you pull it back. Don't worry, nothing will bend. Catch phrase is, move it side to side a little at first and increase distance only when needed. Lastly, apply a little grease to the inside of the new muffler at the end which will go over the pipe coming from the engine. It will help slide it on with ease. The grease will burn off without a trace, so no worries. yes, another very important point is that, if you get any grease or oil on the exterior of your new muffler, wash it off with normal household detergent BEFORE STARTING the bike otherwise, the stain will become permanent and you can do nothing about it. So get to it and get your new muffler on.
Awesome! Thank you so much! I will be putting this on when I wake up (working til 4am): I haven't thought about other exhausts only because I worked the screaming eagle into the price of the bike and figured I couldn't sell it back to the HD shop. Plus I was told other brands would void the warranty. I have seen a video or 2 of the firebrand and it sounds great! This is my first bike aside from a Honda Rebel 250 that I drove for about 75 miles before buying the XG750. I already want to mod the **** out of my bike hahaha. I love the feel and handling of the Street750. The only thing I'm stuck on is trying to find the perfect protective pants. I was looking at some from Klim with D3O armor.

By the way, have you explored any other slip on muffler? I would recommend Firebrand Loose Cannon. It's amazing. The final choice is of course yours. >
Sorry Buddy. You got me there. No knowledge on the subject. My jeans are and have been adequate for me so far and hopefully will be in future too.
That stuff doesn't look too safe. It would shred and fall apart instantly along with your jeans and just fall off as you are sliding. I appreciate the suggestion but I saw nothing abrasion resistant about the stuff.
