No, won't hurt at all!
Shouldn't hurt, just look funny as hell.

Its going to be pretty loud. It won't hurt anything while your riding, but if it is cold outside, you might want to stuff a rag in each exhaust pipe when you stop to keep any cold air from damaging any of the valves. And don't forget to remove the rags before you restart the bike

Thrasherfox has removed his cans and cut down his mid pipes to about 6 inches.....and other than the sound of the bike has had no problems what so ever.am i getting fished??
? HEY! ,DONT RUN THE BIKE WITHOUT AN EXHAUST CAN, MORON! it might not damage the bike,however it will create a dangerously lean situation that is made worse by the fact that the stock fueling is too lean already! if your lucky the bike won't seize all four pistons

he changed the fuel air ratio though right?
Nope....stock bike. No PC, stock air box and filter.....I ride with him. The bike has no hesitation or back firing and he has run it like this for quite awhile. It's an 03

The Busa's midpipes are enough of a restriction that no BS Cans shouldn't be a problem. BUT, For the love of god, Just put the pipes on their so you don't look like a freak...
If your running a full system, without the can? Your prolly going to hurt your motor, Run too lean, Make WAY TO MUCH NOISE. But with a Factory exhaust in place, the midpipes are so restrictive that you'll prolly be just fine.

Its not a win or lose situation, the original poster just wanted to ride today and has his cans off, waiting for bolt-ons. I wouldn't ride it like that because of the noise. And I agree that long term that it could cause damage, but if there is no performance issues....back firing, hesitation, lack of power....to each his own.alright,you win,im stupid,im sorryNope....stock bike.

If you run without the cans on, it WILL more than likely backfire (been there done that), it WILL run too lean (been there done that too). it will run so lean you can smell it.
What I did was leave about 6 to 9 inch extensions on the headers. These created enough of a back pressure where I have not had any problems.
But I would not recommend going without ANY back pressure.
Just my .02

I read the same article. Definitely a no-no.
