so at that point once you get it back to two tubes its a full core or do you need to cut the tubes back til you get to the next sheet?

A full core removes both of the sheets as well as all of the tubes.  If they don't put anything back inside, it's awfully loud, and in my opinion, does not sound very good.  Some people prefer loud regardless of sound quality, but I'm not one of them.

dam at that point your pretty close to just having straight pipes.

Except that straight pipes sound better.  Seriously.

But those who do it seem to at least feel the need to look like they have mufflers on their bikes.

One could also fully core the cans and replace with straight perforated tubing fore to aft and pack with fiberglass. This is pretty much what Termis are. I have partially cored cans and they do sound quite good, and are loud but not obnoxious. Neighbor came running out of the house one morning to tell me how beautiful my bike sounded. How often does that happen.

I'm thinking of fully coring them out along these lines:   http://www.ducati-upnorth.com/tech/coringsr.php

I have the Termi kit with a midpipe yet I prefer the look of the stock mufflers. You could pick up another set of stock pipes pretty cheaply if you don't like what you've done.

For those that ride with cored pipes, did you need to do anything else to keep it running smooth? Re-mapping or anything?

Thanks

Do you have a modded airbox and have you noticed any difference in fuel consumption?
