I just the removed the baffle/cap in on my muffler and notice better response from the engine and a little louder just some popping noise put on the road boy did it pour and seemed much more powerful quiet a difference. Now for my question is it illegal to do this I live in Canada Winnipeg,Manitoba and will it lean the gas and use a higher mix to will this destroy my engine thanks.

Well, it is annoying as all getout so many will be tempted to destroy your motor lol

If yer gonna do that, I would mention drilling a hole(s) in the end cap and putting it back on and/or removing some of the baffles. This will provide some backpressure and tone down the noise a bit.

But really the best/only way to go is to get a tuned pipe, Sick Bike Parts has one that works really well with a pronounced power gain - many have adapted the cheaper pocket bike pipes to fit.

It may not be illegal to run w/o the endcap - but man, people will hate you o.o

With the end cap off You can cut the length of the inside baffle tube down in length and re install. The noise level raised slightly. This worked for me.

well. i removed the entire bafle tube, but i dont advise it. i find im alot happyer (as is the engine) with the muffler bone stock.
SBP does have an awful nice tuned pipe.
if these things were still legal through loopholes here in ontario and i wasnt worried about it getting confiscated, since the local detachment of rookie opp here do with about anything kids have, i would be dropping almost $500 to SBP this time next week.

Drilling a few holes in the endcap gives it a decent little compromise in low end gain tho that is your best route as mentioned.

I removed approx 1/2 of the length to 2/3's. Now it sounds slightly like a moto cross bike.

Are you talking about Ont. Canada which is where I live and its not illegal here? I know many think it is, even the odd cop but the fact is it is not.

Well I just took it for a ride without the baffle on passed couple cop cars they did nothing though I had a DOT full helmet on but I wasn't stop and drivers where more aware I was there and passed me like a normal person not almost hitting me I drove it for a about 4 hours and I'm gonna check the spark plug if it's black brown or to lean.
