That is completely false. The only way you would burn up the valves is if you ran it with no header attached at all. The backpressure thing is a MYTH !!! Any internal combustion engine running open headers is going to make more power then the same engine running headers and a muffler. It has been proven time and time again.

Now back to the op. I would advise against it. For one like the others said all your going to do is piss alot of people off and go deaf in the process. Now running a gp setup like a bunch of others on here are doing including myself I dont think there is an issue. Its still alittle loud but it looks alot better IMO. With the right mapping your bike will run just as well as a more expensive bulky setup.
