Guys

Any suggestions on beefing the exhaust up a little? There is bugger all
around off the shelf that I can find?

The bloke across the road from me has a louder CAR than my bike!

Have you tried actually googling ?

At a quick 3mins of procrastinating on doing what I should be doing

Get a hacksaw and cut the headers off about 6" from the cylinder.

If it was good enough for the Supermarine Spitfire...

Supposedly the headers were originally pointing straight out from the
block, and by adding a 90-degree elbow it added enough extra thrust to
give the plane a 10mph higher top speed[1]!
