ok so i know that this topic has been gone over and over ....and over, but i cant find a 100% answer one way-or the other. i DO NOT have a power commander, and as i know i probably should go get one, i dont have the $200 for it, so my question is, if i take my Two Brothers slip-ons off, and modify the tip of the midpipe to make it look nice (simply cutting off the muffler mounting bracking, and cutting the pipe at a nice angle), will this hurt my engine, or cause any damage? i understand i will lose back-pressure when i eliminate the muffler, losing hp and making it sound alittle choppy, possibly back-firing, and i run the risk of possibly leaning it alittle, BUT all that considered can i safely run with just midpipes and have no PC? i do not want to eliminate the midpipe by purchasing a "shorty" because the midpipe is baffled, and with that gone, im almost certain ill ruin the engine.... i appreciate any suggestions, but to let u know before hand, i cant run out and buy a $100 shorty set, or a $200 PC, and im not interested in running it stock or leaving my Two Brothers on, i want the noise, i want to be loud, i want to be heard... even if it attracts some unwanted attention by the police so can i run my busa safely with just midpipes, and not run the risk of causing damage to the engine? im the only hayabusa in my area, and im tired of being drowned out by the 600 and 750 gsxrs i ride with... im BIGGER i should sound LOUDER lol, i dont have a problem leaving them in the dust, but when we are going to friends houses from a few miles away, im never heard... im the silent one and cant stand it
