    -If you put on a random muffler you will absolutely lose torque and hurt your fuel economy. Improvements are simply psychological, just more noise.
    -If any modification you do to your bike isn't for *your actual specific bike* it could do all sorts of damage like introducing a lean condition.
    -Almost everyone that is not a complete idiot (where I'm from) only do specific mods for specific bikes. eg they buy a CBR600 power commander and muffler for their CBR600. They don't buy a CBR 600 power commander and exhaust for a gixxer 600 as it might be 'similar'.
    -If you remove a CAT from a bike how the hell is it legal or how can it pass emissions tests?
    -'Runs fine' is an opinion and not factual data.

    You sit on a pedestal as a self-elected expert giving out terrible advice and then feel hurt if you are even non-directly challenged.
    ZMC888...
    Those are your opinions...
    However I do agree, that any modification, especially a modification that isn't bike/model specific MIGHT cause damage or premature wear.
    However, sometimes there are cross-over between a product made for one make/model versus another... experimentation may or may not hurt...
    I wrote of my experience having removed two CAT's from two different motorcycles... S10 and 650TR, and both motorcycles passed emission tests in two different countries... that is fact! I didn't comment on the legality of my decision.

    ZMC888 you have your stated position concerning after-market mufflers (of which I am well aware) and I have mine, but don't get personal about it (I note you edited your post since).
