Safe to take the exhaust off?

Re: Safe to take the exhaust off?
please do go on.... when you engine brake, exhaust starts to become a vaccuum... draws cold air into the exhaust(ever hear the loud pop noise, that is cold air expanding rapidly in the pipe) if this were to reach your valves this coud cause them to become brittle and crack... hot metal cold air ya'll know this... YES THIS WILL MOST LIKLEY NOT HAPPEN DO TO HEADER LENGTH... but dont throw it out the window... stupid *** thing to argue about.. back pressure increase lower rpm torque do to the cam design for emission and noise controll devices.

i'm a tech as well i work on cars bikes atvs and heavy equipment... yes all at the same job... fun stuff, i see burnt valves on all kinds of engines usually from exhaust leaks.. cracked manifolds and leaking gaskets

im stupid, but yet there are numerous people in this thread with exhaust some for 2 years and yet they dont have any problems, the proof is in the pudding dippy.

Re: Safe to take the exhaust off?
mechanics is not an exact science moron you can have 2 exact bikes do the exact same things to them and will react diff to them. thats why i said earlier that its an overtime effect about the valves some might not have any problem some might expieriance total failure so pay attention next time

Ok we all know no exhaust can hurt bikes
But so can rev limiter, so can stunting, so can wrecking..
I'll agree, its not good for a motor.. But IMO its no worse then doing rev limiter tricks...
I wouldn't run no exhaust on a 08 bike that I want to last and can't afford a new motor for.. But I also wouldn't rev limiter or pancake a 08 bike I'm trying to keep mint!
On my 02 f4i, that I'll rev limiter, flip down the street, and beat to ****, When my exhaust fell off and lost my exhaust bracket, I said **** it and rode with no exhaust.
On a gixxer however I would probably have second thoughts of rev limiter or no exhaust
but on a honda, **** it, its a throwaway

Re: Safe to take the exhaust off?
nah b21a1 out of a prelude
hunk of **** motor lol... 'hondas flop' as people call it.. Has some 'ceramic coated' cylinder walls or somthing that eats ring
Oh well, 200k on the motor, poped a $50 used head on, and it runs fine again
edit: btw after driving my car on 3 cylinder, for over 4,000 miles and 6 months, and it starting up PERFECT everyday and driving fine, I LOVE hondas lol...
Thing was perfectly fine on 3 cylinders, then just slapped another head on it and its back on 4 cylinders running great
