Hello guys, I have a question that would like to have it responded.

On my 1991 900ss I have an open airbox with a K&N, I also have the Jet Kit Stage 2 and every now and then I like to swap exhausts. I have currently four exhausts setups which I like swapping depending on if I am riding with my wife or by myself. I have a Hi-Mount Fast By Ferracci Carbon, an OEM Remus with baffles, an OEM Low-Mount completely debaffled and a High-Mount Superlight OEM with baffles.

My question is: could I harm the engine or something if running the bike with the jet kit (which is supposed to be for open pipes) but using the "baffled" pipes??? I honestly can't feel a noticeable difference with either the open(debaffled) or the restricted-close(baffled) slipons other than sound volume, weight and look!!! Bike runs perfect with either configuration!! But still concerned!!!

Thanks to all who "pit-stop" and share their knowledge and response!

Check your plugs, but usually they run leaner with non-baffled pipes, so you should be OK.

No issues at all...you'll just have flat spots in your power band.

Yes, if it runs good to you and doesn't foul plugs, it's all good.

I'm with you, I can detect virtually no difference in performance from just changing slip ons. Having said that, more backpressure with baffled pipes would usually mean a richer condition so certainly no damage would occur but it could just run a little burbly off the needles.

Thank you very much guys!!! I was actually wrong!!! It has the Stage 1 Jet Kit not the Stage 2!!!

I have Iridium plugs with Dyna Coils (green) and bike plugs are nice and clean and bike runs beautiful either way thru the whole powerband!!! Just asked because I was concerned about running bike reach or lean!!!

Once again, thanks for your input guys. I really appreciate it!!!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!
