Just curious... Is the lack of backpressure a problem? Or does the
cat create enough backpressure? I'm not sure about 4 stroke engines
but on 2 strokes, a tuned exaust is a very important part of the
system. The back pressure pulses work together with the engine
for the most power. A little more backpressure or a little less
backpressure would result in less HP.
Is this the same for the Dak, or is this a whole 'nother animal?
(And isn't popping and backfiring a problem without enough backpressure?)
