I want louder mufflers

It has the original factory exhaust in great condition, so I don't want to butcher it, but I might like to put something on it with a little more roar to it. Nothing too obnoxious, but still impressive.
Any recommendations on good aftermarket mufflers I can swap on? At first glance it looks like I can remove the stock mufflers from the header pipes, but I'm not 100% sure. I'd prefer to keep the original header pipes on to save money.
Ideas appreciated! Thanks!

Kerker and Vance + Hines are the good ones, MAC is the cheap one. I am running MAC and they are OK, same performance as stock but louder.

1. I don't want a LOUD exhaust. I want one that's a bit LOUDER than stock. This is a performance bike, IMO, and I don't want it sounding like a miniature Gold Wing. I want a bit of engine sound when I crack the throttle.
2. I'm not young, but this is my mid-life crisis machine, which is probably even more foolish.
3. Yes, I want to save the stock exhaust, which is why I asked here, rather than just ram a giant screwdriver through the muffler baffles.
I rode this thing today for the first time since I got it home, and it is one sweet bike. My last bike (20+ yrs. ago) was a big Suzuki GS1100E, which I loved, but this is a whole different animal. It really goes where I point it, and has as much power as I need.
So I'll keep an eye on Ebay, and see what shows up. I'll also drop mjg a note and see what he's got.
