Title: riding 696/1100 without cans at all. Open exhaust, Dangerous? Post by: Veloce-Fino on May 16, 2010, 07:38:27 AM I took off the horribly ugly stock cans today to get a feel for what my bike would look like with the H-comp exhaust by ryanracer. Rode up and down my road a few times making a LOT of noise :)))).
My question is, can I cause any sort of damage to my engine by riding around with no silencers at all, running the pipes? Thanks, Ric Title: Re: riding 696/1100 without cans at all.

Small, but there. I know there is a back-pressure issue.

Just got back from a 40 minute ride with no cans, it was SWEET, I couldn't stop smiling haha. I will say this, EARPLUGS, my ears were ringing when I got off. This sold me, as long as the H-competition exhaust is slight more quiet and more refined I will definitely be getting it. Title: Re: riding 696/1100 without cans at all. Open exhaust, Dangerous? Post by: rosstermyer on May 16, 2010, 05:24:38 PM i did it for a few weeks on my 1100, looks cool with no exhaust. the sound is downright obnoxious....at first i thought it was awesome, but after a while i missed the sexy sound of the exhaust being muffled and refined so i picked up some termis.
my friend that is a duc mechanic said it would be ok for short periods, but without tuning you could foul your plugs or burn a valve in the long term. the sound def didnt outweigh the risks so on went the cans until i could afford the termis.

[cheeky] Thankfully I live in the woods and there is no one around to annoy but deer and squirrels, and the occasional bear. [cheeky] I really can't make my mind up about exhaust. I love the naked look of the H-competition underseat but also love the Arrow CF look. Help me decide.

I have never heard either in person. I would assume the tone from arrow would be deeper, more refined, and quieter. H-comp would be more raw and louder. Really wish I could hear both in person. |
