It will get loud and possibly loose power.

The packing absorbs sound waves/pulses but also makes the air continue to flow through the silencer as if it is a solid pipe so it actualy gets the exhaust gasses out of the muffler faster with a good tight packing. If the exhaust pressure pulse goes into the open volume of the canister through the perforated core your exhaust flow will see more turbulence and slow down which is not good for top end performance. Take the silencer off all together might be better, but wear some earplugs or you'll probably end up going deaf.

alright, thanks, but is it dangerous for the engine if i take off the silencer?

You might need to re-jet if the pipe flows more air so it doesn't go lean, that would be the only danger. That and the niose violation ticket.

 

I'm not sayin that the pipe will run better or give you more power with the silencers off because the pipes are tuned for use with the silencers. You never know it might decrease power a little on the botom end and increase top. I aint tryin toi stop you, kinda sounds fun. I fired up all my crotch rockets on straigt pipes before just to make a little noise for shits and giggles. Just don't run your bike hard or very long if removing the silencers causes it to run lean.
