What you guys say?
yup dude. the sound can be reduced but for that, you need a very big exhaust.

also, most of the times, the ffe does not do anything other than making a racket of noise. a exhaust has to be tuned with the intake capabilities of the engine else the perfornmance actually drops off. you just feel that you are going faster but actually you are not...

believe me i have a k&n, with a race carb and a ffe but later i found out that there was degradation in the performance of the bike and so i removed the ffe and now its only k&N and the tuned carb. and the bike is now better than stock
