where did you knock it off at? I've had it disconnect where the header meets the pipe (rubber boot), i just put it back on. But if you knocked it off anywhere else other than that, you may have an exhaust leak and it will make you lose some power...

Some actually run with out a pressurize line. If you read the links I posted you will see a stinger is best to have. Not saying it will not run with out it just run better with it. But what ever works for you.

yes, i realize that with no muffler or pipe at all there is no back pressure to the fuel tank to give the engine fuel,
