    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I was riding my Vance and Hines equipped Gs1100e last night when things got real loud. My muffler had fallen off and promptly been ran over by the car behind me.
I plan on buying a new muffler ASAP but will my engine suffer it I run it sans muffler for a few days? I know that my ears sure will...

Also- there are some nice stock exhaust systems on eBay. Will I be loosing noticeable power going from Vance and Hines 4-1 to stock system?

Thanks, todd
 
I have always been told that an open header creates a lean condition and causes the valves to get too hot and fry...your choice i guess.
 
sorry to hear that!

But curious to hear the answer. Went to Goodguys car show in Loveland last weekend and saw the odd chrome circles behind the front tire on some of the cars. Learned that it was an exhaust cutout that gets placed upstream of the exhaust system so when drag racing it produced more power. Sounds like your same condition???

More power?
