A Ducati Monster owner in my garage runs his bike without cans from his exhaust (Actually there isn't really an exhaust system at all.) His reasoning why: it removed weight, and offered a less restrictive exit path for exhaust gasses to leave the engine.

I'm not intimately familar with the mechanics behind exhaust systems, but do know that exhaust airflow can impact engine characteristics: power/acclearation.

All environmental and potential code violation disscusion aside. Is there any benefit to running without cans?
