I have the Akrapovic on my 2014 with the DB killer baffle still screwed in, I left it in because I ride mostly 2up and the Mrs preferred it a bit quieter. I get flashed all the time by tintops at night because of the headlights, so I just react a little more slowly now to dip the high beam- just letting them know...
It doesn't matter how prominent you make yourself, it's the one you don't see that doesn't see you that'll get you. So ride like everyone is blind and look after yourself.
I have a '78 GS1000 with a straight through Tingate, I still get tinheads cutting me up - Didn't see/hear....care..
Ride safe, Stay safe.
