I already removed the trumpets from the air box but did not get around to installing a wet pipe this winter, will it be ok to run it that way this summer with the trumpets removed and a stock pipe? Thanks!!!

I don't think there is any advantage, I just removed the trumpets when I was planning on installing a wet pipe but my budget says I need to wait on the wet pipe purchase. I just want to make sure I'm ok to run it with the trumpets removed and the stock pipe, I'll install the wet pipe next winter.

you might have to change pop off... it is like adding flame arrestors to your ski.

should not have to, does not make that big of a change.

It did on the 750s. I removed the trumpets and then my ski 'stumbled/hesitated' in the mid-range. I had a choice of either rejetting or putting the trumpets back in. Since I destroyed the trumpets removing them, I ended up just partially blocking off the holes the trumpets were in with duct tape to get my ski to run right again. This was with a stock pipe.
I think I read about the trumpet trick on the Group K website.

my buddy runs his stock SXR without the trumpets. He did not rejet or touch the carbs and it is fine.

I did it when I added the Factory pipe so I rejetted anyway...

I had to rejet mine when I removed the trumpets. Just my 2 cents.

Agreed. I still haven't even ridden an SXR DAMMIT!
