I already had filled a handfull holes in the “dB-killer” with pop-rivets (just shy of half the total holes). Not much difference. I guess the muffler is sized for much larger engines.
BTW, if jetting is right, NO (4-stroke-) engine will ever make more power with restriction in the exhaust-system.
Part-throttle/mid-range can change, due to cam-overlap.
90/92,5 was on the lean side with stock muffler (lightly modified) and BlackWidow pipes. On MY bike…(with the mods earlier mentioned).
I do not like running AirFuelRatio in 15+numbers at high rpm-wide open throttle…most engines likes AFR round 13 for best power,-also to control temperatures.
