Removing stock exhaust tip, tractor type exhaust/????

[jbarth636]

I just got an 06 450, I removed the stock exhaust tip and the spark arrestor, it seems a lot louder and maybe a little more pop in mid range. Is there a downside to doing this/? should I put it back in? also I saw on here about doing a tractor pipe for a slip on instead of blowing 250$ on a HMF or whatever, does anyone else have any experience with this? how do you know what size to get just a similar size to the stock one? thanks.

its not too drastic of a change, so you should be fine with removing it. But to be on the safe side I would check your spark plug to make sure its not running lean. If it is, go up one size on the jets.
