Default M50 Tweaks

Hello Everyone,
I just got my M50 a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if you veterans could share any quick / cheap performance tweaks. I've read about drilling holes in the pipes, putting spacers in the air cleaner cover, etc. Are any of these viable? Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Drilling holes in the pipes will only make it a little louder. Not sure about the spacers in the air cleaner.

Now tweaking your bike can only lead to no good, late nights in the garage, roaming the streets etc.................. just say no!!!!

this is by no means a scientific nor "by experience" statement...but you could probably drill the holes and open the air filter and get maybe a little ooompf? as long as it doesnt run lean on you and screw up the engine and blue the pipes, you might get a little better throttle response from it. then maybe just a PC of some sort to get a little more gas flow.

then you could actually remove the baffles, get thundermonsters...etc.

you are well on your way young padawan!
