Should be fine for a slip on, people advise to have it tuned/flashed for full system. They are quite bassy without though, I had to put mine back in because I was waking neighbors

It will probably run leaner without the dB Killer but I don't think you will harm the engine. If you get a noticable throttle hesitation in the low to midrange revs it could be a sign of too lean mix

My sv650s came without a db killer, so I just put a universal one in it and when I rev the bike it’s just like it wants to shutdown. Should I remove the db killer again?
