Warped vales.
When you shut off the engine plug the straight pipe to stop cold air from rushing in.
When you have a muffler the cold air rushing in has to travel through chambers in the muffler before it reaches the head so the air is being warmed before it get's to the head and valves.
Have you ever looked in a muffler? You can see right through it! Car mufflers do have baffles that make the air "weave" around, but these do not. They have little seashell punches punched into the middle of the pipe to catch some of the noise. They are very similar to a glass pack.
It will be loud! I didn't take mine off when I was plowing and it was NASTY. Thank goodness for worktunes :)
That would make sense about the valves, but I do not think an IH muffler is going to save you. This is the first I have ever heard about any problems.
