Are there any pro's to riding w/out the muffler
03/04/09 at 19:26:04

Hey everyone looooooooong time since I been on here posting and seeking advice from this Godsend of a website. Here is my question I saw a clip on Youtube of a guy that removed his muffler on his S40 and it sounded soo wonderful it was deep and throaty and I really want to do this to my baby. I havent done any carb or air mods everything is stock except for the xtra speedo and seat lift. Anyone here ever tried riding without the muffler if so is there a difference in performance on the top end or low end? Im sure you cant have the best of both worlds so I want to weigh the pro's and con's before I do it. Thanks as always for the info you wonderful folks provide and keep riding safe.

You will also have hell tuning it because there will be no proper back pressure. Basically, I wouldn't recommend it.

With a stock engine you definitely NEED a muffler. Without one, you will loose all kinds of power thoughout the entire range and will never be able to tune the carb properly... not good for the engine.
Personally, with a stock engine I would use something with a fair amount of backpressure; the dyno/sporty mufflers are a good example. They are cheap, work good and sound good.

darn that sounds nice! I was thinking about ordering a strait drag pipe from Raask in Sweden:

Sivert quoted me $425 to my door. Not tooo bad I guess. I need a new header pipe anyway, about $200 and a new Jardine can will run another $200.
