Yoshi cans in NL

I think there are a few other Superduke riders out there in the Netherlands? I've not been here long and my SD is still living in the garage while I fight through the pile of paperwork to get Dutch plates. At the moment the bike has the stock cans on it (for the RDW inspection) but after I can:

1. leave the stock on it.
2. get some cans with ECC stamp and removable baffles.
3. stick the Yoshi cans the bike came with back on it, they have baffles, still very loud, but no ECC stamp.

ok, so lets face it, option 1. isn't going to happen so its between options 2 and 3. What I'd like to know is how excited do the Dutch police get about loud cans? The Yoshi ones have no ECC stamp so harder to get away with if I get stopped.
It's not like in Germany (not yet), where the first thing they look for is the EEC mark.
And I've never been stopped for loud can(s), and been riding with them for over 30 years or so.
But, beware when visiting events such as WSB and TT at Assen, or motorbeurs Utrecht, there will be a place somewhere near the circuit, where the police is checking bikes for noise, and other (illegal) things.
But, in my opninion, if you (youre bike) is not TO loud, you wil not be bothered.
Maybe next year things are different, and noise becomes an issue, for now not so.
thanks for the info, sounds a bit like the UK to me. Might go for a set of Remus cans anyway and ebay the Yoshi ones. They sound great but in my opinion are a bit on the loud side even with the baffles in.
