Muffler- Spark arrester

last night went riding on my 06 500 rubi. Well i took the spark arrester out to clean it and decided to ride with it out cuz it sounded cool. About an hour later, i noticed the inside of muffler was blazin orange. Is this normal or did this happen cuz removed the spark arrester. After I discovered this i put the arrester back in. Just curious, do all mufflers get blazin orange inside? Tit ran fine and my plug is slightly dark colored.

thanks

I took the baffle out of mine (cause it sounded cool) and ran it for a whole day. I didnt notice it glowing.

you removed the back pressure, so the bike ran lean. you need to add more fuel, when you let the exhaust flow.

you add more fuel by adding a jet kit. when you add more air means you need to add more fuel which means more power. I can say a great mod for the honda's are a jet kit, and hmf pipe and the power is pretty good.
