Just for amusement i will throw 15-18 discs on, and cut my end cap. I will report my findings. I will in fact, be a man and apologize for the disbelief if this fixes my issue. 👍🏻

AFAIK, there has only been one Street Tuner.
I suggest you start with the closed end cap. Then bored a 1” hole, then 1 1/2” hole, then no end cap.
This will give you an idea of how exhaust restriction changes engine run quality at lower rpms @ light throttle.
Please share with us know what you experience.
Thanks,
Bob

Did you tune for the change?

I thought this was a test to see how the bike ran in the problem area?
Define HUGE restriction on performance.
You know, the more we converse the more I believe you may be better served to get it done by a good dyno tuner and get on with riding?

[QUOTE
I never claimed to be a tuner or an expert...thats why I’m here. I want to learn.

I did infact take it to a “tuner”, and twice he couldnt tune it properly nor figure out why it wasnt 100%. There are only 2 dynos within 3 hours of me, my choices of tuners are very slim. 3 trips/3 wasted days when i could have been working, for a tune that didnt pan out. I also didnt feel comfortable revving my bike to 4000-5000 when I could tell it was hugely restricted. Call me cautious or stupid, I guess.

But on another note, i guess i owe an apology. Cut a 1.25” hole in end cap, and I can NOT get the bike to sputter @ 1/4 throttle(4000-5000rpm). Feels like I may have even gained some torque on the bottom end, but def lost on the top end. Now time to call the tuner and tell him the findings. So thank u guys for the help thus far.

Should i bore it to 1.5”, add a couple more discs, or leave it and see how it performs on a dyno first?

If it were me I would try 20-22 discs with your current end cap untill you can get to a good tuner.
