I am running this way at the dragstrip and it is very loud. I rode home one night only about 5 miles and couldn't get the sound out of my ears for about an hour. Bike seems to have leaned out quite a bit.

oh i diffently dont want it that loud, it wouldnt be to bad at the strip when i race but that would drive me nuts for normal riding, thanks for the replys!!!

very loud but i dont think you would need a pc the restriction is in the headers

mine runs fine like this.

Very loud, to the point I have scared small children. There is a potential to do some damage to your valves from lack of back pressure.

I ran mine like this for kicks before I put my turbo system on. The bike ran like shid. Was very loud and backfired alot. It also barely idled.

loud and lack of back pressure =burnt valves

There was a member here a couple years ago that slash cut their midsand it ran with no probs. I am thinking about doing this myself if I can find a set of mids.

The bike runs better performance wise with the cans off. It does seem to pop on decel. I don't know where you guys are coming from with the it runs like shid. My friend and I were at the dragstrip. She was running 2 to 3 tenths off of my times with carbon fiber cans on. Took them off kept up the rest of the day and the 6 or seven races since

Lack of back pressure = burnt valves?  Where did you come up with that?  My race car is running straight header and has been for 2 seasons now. I see plenty of gsxr1000's and busa's at the track with muzzy straight pipes. My brother has been running his 08' without the mufflers for 2 months now. Runs perfectly fine and it's that loud.
