Okay so I was out riding last night and then the tip of my muffler just fell off. I didnt hit anything or go over any huge bumps or anything. After it fell off, I stiill had a long ride back home. On my ride when I had the throttle on all the way, the engine would kind of lose power for a second or thats what it seemed like, it seemed like the engine hesitated or something, (its really hard to explain) As soon as the tip fell off my bike seemed to gain power and go faster. If I ride the bike with no tip on the exhaust am I ruining my engine, (does it need the back pressure from the exhaust or something). Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. ya and i attached a pic here if im not being too clear on what I mean. thx
