Anyway don't think you can get a pattern silencer, if anybody made it nobody would buy it.
But aftermarket exhausts are associated with increased performance - that's the issue.

Problem is if you are involved in a serious accident they will have a look. And in the case of your chop my guess is that they would walk away stating that your bike is not the bike they insured. Which leaves you with potentially unlimited liabilities.
If it's a minor modifcation then there is the arguement as to whether the modification contrubuted to the incident/accident.
But one of the problems is that many of the insurance companies do not understand the market. One company I called told me I had to list all nonstandard parts. So I did, I mentioned my CE marked can, my hard luggage, heated grips and K-Tech shock. They told me (after lots of questions) they'd have to take advice on the shock and get back to me. I told them they were clueless idiots and not to bother getting back to me.
