baffles, backpressure, my silencer's messed up

[97BoredOutBlasta]

Im running a Paul Turner silencer and the other day a couple rivets were kinda loose and the tip was rattling, i was too lazy to pop a couple new ones in, didnt think anything would happen, anyways the tip and whatever stuff inside the FatBoy2, i never looked but im assuming a perforated tube with a little glass packing, is all gone, blown out on a trail somewhere. My question is, am i loosing any power with the loss of backpressure? im running a Toomy B1 headpipe. I couldnt really feel a difference, but it does sound pretty cool, haha.I:I

i dont think so but if ya want i have a procircuit silencer f/s..

The packing is just mainly for sound control. If you still have the tube and tip in nothing will really change. It may become the slightest bit lean, but not enough to harm it.

ya i wish i could find the tip and tube. i backtracked the trails but i never found it, all i got is the can so its like a three inch gutted can.
