What is back pressure?

I have an '03 triumph speed triple and I want to show off the swing arm. I am currently running a TOR low mount exhaust and was wondering what the consequences would be if I simply took the can off. Actually, there is a piece of pipe that I will leave on (that connnects to the header-about 12inches in length) just beneath my foot, but I want to take off the entire carbon fiber bit. A good friend of mine who has/rebuilds old muscle cars says it shouldn't do anything to the bike or its performance. Another friend says he thinks it may be bad for the bike. Anyone know for sure?

Look, Back pressure is the pressure feed back to the engine. when an engine cylinder combusts fuel it is an explosion of sorts and the excess fuel gases or burn of is exhausted out.the muffler helps to reduce sound of this continues explosion but in modern mechanics helps with emissions by recirculating some of that unburned fuel gases to kinda help re burn them for engine efficiency.



So, If you remove it completely it will be louder and less efficient, meaning not burn as clean and use more fuel.Also you change the air to fuel set up by allowing the system to breathe more and the bike may run a little too lean and shorten its cylinder life because it will have more need for fuel with the better air flow and when lean the excess fuel washes more oil off of the cylinder walls shortening the life of the pistons and rings.
