Default Engine breakin w/tuned pipe, or without?

Ed,
New to the hobby, I am always willing to accept new concepts and ideas. Some I can see some reasoning and others I need a little more explaination. And I am not "arguing" Ed, but wish to know how breaking in a new engine with a stock muffler by the manufacturers reconmendation can ruin an engine when one then installs a pipe? Thanks for your help.

Mighty Mouse,

The statement was made by Ed was in response to THOMKP J as it was written below...


"I WOULD FOLLOW THE ENGINE MAKERS INSTUCTIONS,AND BREAK THE ENGINE IN WITH THE STOCK MUFFLER.THE REASON IS THAT TUNED PIPES PUT MORE STRESS ON THE ENGINES,AND THEY ALSO MAKE THE ENGINE RUN HOTTER.THAT`S WHAT YOU WANT TO AVOID WHEN BREAKING IN A NEW ENGINE!"
